kwren......DH and I are here...arrived a few days ago....will hope to meet and watch for a posting....

Have fun. I like gtg but missed the last ones. That week is nok for me.

Hi traviata! I'm waiting for our flight out of washington right now and can't wait to get there. Seems like not many people are in Paris right now, but we'd love to meet up!

We're there on the 12th and then again on the 21st and 22nd, but not on your dates.

I would have loved to meet you stcirq.

Latraviata - the latest update is 4 of us are available on Friday Oct 14. Does that work for you two?

kwren......yes, we can do Friday, or/and, St. Cirq on the 12th, Wednesday....We are in the 5th....where are all of you?..will save both nights.....drinks, dinner, just say...

We're in Montparnasse, right opposite the train station. We get in late afternoon by train and have to get an early start the next day to CDG for a flight to Budapest, so maybe just drinks, as we will have had 7 hours of train travel that day and a long day ahead on the 13th.

Have you been to Le Ciel in the Tour Montparnasse? That's a nice place for a drink. Not trying to make this convenient just for us, but I suspect we'll be pooped.

StCirq - were going there tonight!

Anyone else for Friday Oct 14 dinner? ceeast1? You still out there?

Mrs Sarastro and myself are available on Friday and would like to join you. I have, however, lost track of the restaurant you are suggesting.

What about Petit Pontoise for lunch or dinner on Friday???? Reservations will be a must...

I'm going to start a new thread with the information we have so far entitled Paris GTG Friday October 14th. I made a tentative reservation at the restaurant suggested above but have to get confirmation. I have made it for 8 people so please go to the other thread and let me know if you can make it so I can adjust the reservation if it goes thru. The restaurant is the Petit pontoise as suggested and it looks nice. I made it at 7 o'clock. I will post back on the other post when I get confirmation. I'm sure it's not too late for other people to join in so let me know! We have 8 people so far but please confirm on the Paris GTG Friday October 14th.

Here is the link to kwren´s new thread. It is not tagged France so it won´t appear in links dedicated to France only:

Thanks for tagging it Sarastro. Can i blame it on jetlag, wine or most likely both!

StCirq - we didn't end up going to Montparnasse on Monday because it was raining. We skipped it tonight because we were hoping we could meet you tomorrow night ( Wednesday October 12). Are you still interested in going? We won't be there for dinner but we're going to try to get there around 7 or a bit after. I think it's a champagne bar at the top, is that correct, or are there a few places? We would have to figure out how to find each other.

Anyone else who would like to join us let me know here! We will need to know how many seats to save

Hey, kwren!

Sure, we'll meet you there, as we could literally crawl there from our hotel in a few minutes, and we'd like to take advantage of being so close to have a drink there. I think the champagne bar is a bit separate from the rest of the place, but honestly I can't remember - it's been about 7 years since we were last there. I do know that the whole top level is for drinks and dinner, and the champagne bar is off to the side a bit from the dining area, but not "separate." Forgive me if my memory is a bit faulty. At any rate, once you find yourself on the floor where there are drinks and dinner, it's all there.

My profile has a very recent picture of me on it - perhaps that will help. My husband is about 5' 10" with longish dark hair, very slim. My email is StCirq at aol dot com. You can try that, but I don't know if we'll be able to get to email until about 6 pm tomorrow (or early morning time here in France). If you email me I'll send you my cell phone numer in France if that helps.We could probably be there 7-7:30. FWIW we've never had much of a problem finding people we didn't know. Somehow it seems to work out.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

StCirq, I emailed you.

Great meeting you StCirq and sharing such a wonderful view! Have a great trip to Budapest!
