Air Hockey in Paris?
 
Okay Paris people, I need some help. My boyfriend and I have a history of betting each other over dumb things. I'm already in the hole $100 because I bet him earlier this year he couldn't identify a flavor in a wine that was mentioned in the wine description (you know, like oak, leather, clove etc. ) when we went tasting at a winery in Napa. He correctly guessed licorice!

We love to play air hockey, and we'll play a round whenever we see a table at bars, arcades, roller rinks, wherever. He said he would erase the debt if I could find a working air hockey table in Paris when we go in November. I said, "Oh it's on!" Now I am on a mission. I see that there's an AMF bowling alley in Paris, has anyone been there and do they have an arcade? Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Foosball is the popular type game like air hockey not only in France but in many European countries

lots of cafes seem to have them.

not same as air hockey i think but similar it seems

Unfortunately I don't think foosball will pass. Has to be air hockey. But thanks for the suggestion!

This would be likely in a place that caters to Americans. They have some at Disneyland Paris, I know. It's a game arcade called NEX across from the Disney Village parking lot.

Why don't you call or write the major air hockey manufacturers and ask.

La Tête dans les Nuages, 5 boulevard des Italiens, should still have air hockey.

Google Air Hockey and Paris and the second or third listing is:

Huh Palenque? That's my own posting.

Thanks Kerouac! I'll write that down and maybe we can hit up that address if we're in the area.
