What to do in Paris?
Sorry for the vague, vague question, but I'm going with 3 friends thurs 31 may-6 june and we have all been to Paris before.
We are girls our 20's and since we've been to see the classics we would like the modern, non-typical-touristy side of paris. Good areas for bars, new galleries, quirky events and other recommendations would be great! Thanks

Bercy is "new/modern"... Musee Quai Branley is new, modern exterior... don't know about galleries or bars.
Peruse the Parisinfo.com website or "spectacles" on FNAC.com for events....

God what a bunch of vultures!!
thanks those who actually suggested something (ira/travel nut) and no thanks to sneering responses lacking any insight!.
I was asking for an insiders view, as I did say we had all been to see the typical stuff before. i meant we want ideas for random adventure type stuff.
Do i have to repeat myself?
robespierre- i think i'll see if paris scope is online, although i dont think i like your tone haha
Rd- I tried to keep the question as general as possible to get the most amount of feedback baby
oh well.....

I think you definitely need to at least consider Tod's suggestion rather than wading through that so-called "superthread"
BTW..vultures have this absolutely uncanny knack for detecting roadkill.

by the way kwren: EXCELLENT thank you
Dukey- i had a brief look at tods suggestion, although grateful that it was a suggestion and not another wry comment, ehm its bizarre.
and 'roadkill' would be a smart one if it wasnt so ironic.

Hi travel buzzing,
I don't think any of us are critical of you for trying to plan ahead, but (speaking at least for my reaction) for your lack of desire to do any work yourself. You dismiss any guidebooks and apparently haven't looked at any online sources; you could have found the threads ira posted with a quick text search here.
I occasionally teach college-level English courses, and I find this tendency in a lot of young folks today -- the tendency to want the results without the work. It depresses me.

young folks. and im not doing any work for myself. your generalisation about "youth" depresses me. Imagine if I had left out the part about us being "girls in our 20's".
If everyone did their own research work, this forum would not need to exist. I'm doing a good share of online research thanks, but i thought i might get some personal recommendations for the above.
