Anything. Worth doing in Paris ?!!
I'm going to be in Paris this weekend.
A French mate has got tickets for the France v Scotland Rugby match. So why not ?!!
But I will have a Friday afternoon , evening and some of Saturday and Sunday. Free for whatever sightseeing events.
I'm not really that interested in the Louvre, Notre Dame or fashion shopping etc. As neither fine art. Religion or trendy clothes are my thing.
Anything motorised. Off interest over there ?? Like a decent Classic Garage/shop. Or museum ?
I'm staying in Montmatre, so I'm sure there are enough drinking and eating establishments to keep me happy !!
Maybe JP. , you have a suggestion ??

That had me thinking until I realised that your phone had done its thing.
'Fraid I can't help as I always get dragged round the touristy bits by the missus. Me trailing behind like a sulky kid.
Last year the lads were having a ball at Dijon. Where was I at the same time? Getting dragged round some old castle near Paris 'cos it's where they filmed some shit on the telly at some time or other apparently.

Hmm, actually there is probably a Furygan Leathers shop somewhere. Trendy bike gear, eh ?!!

Re: Anything. Worth doing in Paris ?!!
Well, I am now fairly well acquainted with Monmatre. I liked the street food markets. Ours in a vender !, amazing. And the Voodoo cocktails at Dirty Dicks kontiiki bar in the Pigale. With 7 sorts of rum were interesting ( maybe that's why I did not notice any of the prostitutes JP ?........oh, and I could not find a toy train shop either !!). Ah, and there WAS a rugby match in there somewhere too, but let's not talk about that !!!husson73 wrote:of course if you like cars there is retromobile
