Anything interesting happening?

That's what I had, the Lahmacun. They fill it up with meat and salad and all the fixings and then roll it up in foil.

Costs about twice as much as a doner nowadays.

Invented in Germany apparently, the Doner. Who knew.

When I was living in St Michel on the left bank in '95, we used to walk past Notre Dame every night and go to the Kebab area at Chatelet cos one sold Huit Six under the counter and another sold Marlboro Rouge {which I normally hate, but there was no other choice as it was what most people smoked back then.}

So given all the tabacs and allies {alimentations, or baras, (pl.) verlan for arab, as in arab shops} were shut by then, we could go and get our beer and fags from the Chatelet kebab shops until 6am.

I can't find anywhere near where I stay to get a beer after 4am - there's a shop in Bastille open until then but nothing later. 2-3 years ago, I went to see if there were still kebabies in Chatelet selling cans at 5 in the morning but there didn't seem to be the kabab area there any more.

Have you ever had a look? Wouldn't be far from the Frog and Rosbif.

I remember listening to the end of the Euro 2004 final on the radio, playing on our babyfoot table outside our truck on some site or at some small festy down Toulouse way. I remember the French commentators thinking it great, they were saying that all the Sandwiche Grec shops in Chatelet must be buzzing and fans in Paris should go there to join the fun and buy a kebab. Guess it made up for the French defeat in the QFs.
