I will be in Paris in this December.
Biz travel in day and leisure travel in night since I will be doing a business in a day but I would be feel more lonesome mood in a night.
Because my day work is over and I am a single person in night at a city of light.
4 days trip and want to have a good memory for Paris between day and night.

Three big questions before I can answer:

1 What are your interests

2 Do you speak French

3 Wher are you from and would you like to meet your compatriots?

Vita

Charlie, I know Rome and Florence offer night tours of the city including dinner. Maybe Paris does as well.

charlie

David:
Here is answers to your q.
1. My interest is just have fun and cheerful times though I was foreigner there.
2. Only do english.
3. I will be fly from Korea and just want to have a memory with Parisians or foreign travelers.

Thanks.

charlie

Vita:
Thank you for your reply.
I want to have a time with people.
Official tour or routine course is not my taste.
I think any country is have a special place to have a cheerful time though I was newcomer there.

For example, bar or pub or disco or anywhere.

I would like to have a time with some good people there.

Is it my over-thought?

Charlie, I suggested before in one of your posts looking for discos that you read the entertainment/bars/nightlife section for Paris on www.timeout.com. I think they give good descriptions and have a good selection. YOu might want to stop by the Korean Cultural Center to see what's going on or for friendly conversation, it is near the Korean Embassy in the 16th arr (I think), here is their web site which gives a calendar of some interesting art shows and films http://www.kapis.co.kr/cccf I rented an apt one summer in the 15th arr. near place Charles Michels and I there were several Korean restaurants in that area, so that might be a friendly area for you although there are not special tourist attractions, there are some friendly restaurants and cafes around there. The Bermuda Onion is right next to a movie theater in the Beaugrenelle shopping center on rue de Linois just a few blocks to the west of Charles Michels stop; it's a popular bar/restaurant where people sit around on couches watching large-screen TV, not sure if you'd like that or not. I think you could not be lonely if you just found a nice sidewalk cafe and sat down and had a drink and watched the people there.

My nephew and his wife, who is Korean-American, really liked the Korean restaurant Wabosso at 8, rue des Ciseaux between Rue du Four and St. Germain in the 6th (metro St. Germain). It sounded authentic and warm and friendly. Perhaps if you could meet some Korean-Parisians, the language would no longer be a barrier.

charlie

Sue:
Thank you for your info on Wabosso and attention.

I don't feel any language barrier in my travel and I want to taste a regional food always.

Thank you again your hospitality.

If you feel in a lonesome mood in Paris, Charlie, then pursue an intereest that would bring you in contact with other people, such as visiting a bookstore to browse with other shoppers. Sometimes just going out to dinner at an upbeat restaurant can lift a lonesome mood.
The main thing is to be where there are people and activity. Nice lunches and breakfasts can also keep one amused. It is not good to feel lonely. Please think of what you most enjoy doing and go to where it is done, whether it be visiting the zoo, riding a bicycle, or browsing in the flea markets and art galleries. Paris is full of bright lights and amusements. Perhaps it would be well to simply take coffee at a busy walk cafe and just people watch for a while. Good luck. Edith

Edith:

Charlie,

While in Paris as a solo (female) traveler, I had a great time at this place:

http://www.paris-anglo.com/goingout/..._huchette.html

It's a jazz club, quite informal, and everybody dances and mingles there. It's in the 5eme. You'll find more info/suggestions on the Paris Anglo web site.

Have fun in Paris,

Surlok

charlie

Surlok:

Thank you for your kind attention.
Well you got the point about what I want.

If you have a personal diary of Paris, pls let me know.

Jen

Charlie,

I'd go to a popular wine bar and hang out, have a bite to eat. The one I frequent when I'm there is very social, and even though we speak very little French, have always found that if you hang out long enough, you eventually strike up a conversation with the next table.

We go to Les Chais de l'Abbaye in the 6th on rue de Buci - right near the busy Buci Market - LOTS of people watching.

Enjoy!

I was in Paris alone as well, for 4 days. I love architecture and also impressionist painters, so I had a pretty good time visiting the museums and just wandering the streets. The Louvre itself is amazing! Also there are several evening cruises along the canals, and although I didn't hop on one in Paris, I have taken them in other cities and it's a nice way to pass time. The city is also well-lit at night and on my last night there I went on my own tour and took some pretty cool night shots. At times I just sat on a bench and watched people walk by.

Enjoy your trip. Hope you bring back some good memories

charlie

Jen / SJK:

Thank you for your good remarks.

Surlok

Charlie,

Unfortunately, I don't. I'm a very badly organized person, that nearly never takes notes. Maybe I trust my memory too much.. ;-)

I found the" Cave de la Huchette" reading Pariscope, a Paris newspaper. It was Sunday, and I wanted to have some fun. This was one of the funniest places I've been in my travels. The place is unpretentious, not at all expensive, and on Sundays, there's a jazz band playing mostly blues. There are lots of dancers, and women's outfit is mostly inspired in the fifties. There are some English speakers there, however, most speak only French. My advise is : go there, and once you find an English speaking person, ask him/her what are the places to go and have fun in Paris.

If you have other questions, you can e-mail me. The address above is real.

Regards,

Surlok
