Well, similar to the Rome thread, I’m heading to Paris right after for a week. Gonna catch the French open on Friday and some jazz at Sunset Sunside, but other than that no plans other than exploring. This time I’ll be there when things are open (last time was August last year, everything closed…) so any new recommendations (record stores, places to shop for good clothes, food that isn’t too expensive) are very much welcome!
PS: I’ll finally be able to use Edd’s huge list!!!

Badaboum Paris always have some good gigs on…
Anyone on the forum Paris based or know Paris well? Am in the very early stages of speaking with a company about a job there, which would mean relocating. After 15 years in London I had started to feel ready for a change, so this feels exciting! But I don’t know Paris well. If the conversation with the company progresses, it would be cool to get Paris recommendations!

My wife’s doing the marathon on Sunday so we’re heading over on Friday with our 7 and 10 year old girls. Any tips for keeping the girls engaged particularly welcome!
Also I have a cycling passion so anywhere I can watch Paris-Roubaix on Sunday while my wife recovers from her run would be amazing.
Thanks.
