albertjohn Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 I'm in Paris on 11 Dec for our Firm's xmas do. That's France not Texas sadly. Anyone know of any good live music bars or guitar shops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brundaddy Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I saw some Django Reinhart-style jazz at an itty bitty underground (literally, subterranean) jazz club in the Latin Quarter... naturally the name of the joint escapes me. I spent a lot of time at Havana Cafe, which is a killer Cuban club with fantastic music and dancing, as well as the best damn mojitos you'll ever have. Pick up a Lonely Planet Guide to read on the plane, you'll have a great time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 You should definitely visit Oldies Guitars, if you're in love with manouche guitars(see avatar), hollow bodies and vintage guitars! http://www.oldies-guitars.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I fear Paris would be so different today than in '75 that any suggestion I might make would be terribly outdated. Even the Louvre lacked its pyramid at that time. A traveling man might find a guide, however... m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 France is a wonderful country and we've been on holiday there many times and I hope to return many more times. Never been to Paris but given the choice, I'd like to go to Texas. (Paris is now approx 2.5 hrs on the train from London. It takes longer than that to get across London these days.)

DeVeeWee Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Did Sir Elton John ever write a song about Paris Texas, or Paris France...don't think so. However Belgium!!!:- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If you take the bus, to go just north outside Paris, you can visit the biggest guitar shop of the Paris outskirts, Guitar Village: http://guitare-village.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 A 'must see' for sure is the graveyard perelachaise, where you can visit the thombs of Jim Morrison, Oscal Wilde, Edith Piaf, Maria Callas , Frederic Chopin, and many more celebrities, like Molière, La Fontaine, Honoré de Balzac and impressionist painter Camille Pissarro, etc... I've been there once and a glimpse of the graveyards itself is already pretty impressive http://www.pere-lachaise.com/ ...and don't forget to visit Mont Martre, the artists quarter.
