GG desole mais tu habis a Paris? J'ai oublie

[Luis Anaconda]

She's done a lot of good. Places like Nation was basically a huge roundabout, but by pedestrianising parts of it, it's now much nicer. I don't like the look of the concrete barriers that divide roads into cycle lane parts, but I guess that's the future. But I don't drive and the metro/RER is amazing. You're never more than 5 mins from a station, 10 at the very most. So for me, it's ideal.

And all the nice areas are the same or better. The big "places" de whatever. You'll find delightful bistros everywhere.

16e in posh and pricey. If you can afford that, then fine. But I've always preferred the centre - right bank 4e or left bank 5e - though that's just me. Just like I'd always prefer Hackney to Ladbrooke Grove, for example.

But if I were you, I'd remember how good the metro is and how small the city compared to London. If you're working at La Defence, then anywhere on Line 1 would take you there directly. And that just runs along the right bank through Louvre, HdeV, Bastille etc.

It's roughly 1.5 mins per metro stop. So even Bastille - 16 stops away - is only 23 mins or so.

If you can get a better flat for the money in the centre compared to the 16e, I'd do it. If you have mates in the 16e, it's still easy to visit them, or they you.

And in the middle, you can get everywhere quickly. It's great being able to walk over the islands to all the cheap restaurants on the left bank around St Michel. There's a lovely little restaurant on Ile St Louis which does lots of duck things. 3 people, starter and main, lots of foie gras, cheap carafes of red, €100 for all of us. Confits de canard, magret with foie gras, and for five euros extra, you can have the famous fillet steak and foie gras.

But you'll find all these sorts of places everywhere.

I obviously don't know you as a person, WES.

He's a bit of **** to be fair, if that helps. Mostly harmless though

Cheers, LA. If he tells his agence immoblier "je suis un p'tit connard", I'm sure that will help him get the ideal gaff.

Ignore him GG, he's a wannabe Nazi. And a drunk. And he's slow to the bar as well.

Slow to the bar? That's worse than being a cünt. It's up there with being a nazi.

Btw, in terms of the dog issue, do you think you'd be fine living central, walking him along the river and taking him to one of the Bois for a long walk every now and then, as my mates do?

Btw, if you did, I could introduce you to my mate's mate, Duell, the young dog-walker. I'm no hound expert but when we went with her taking my mate's dog, Kurt, and the 2 or 3 she was walking, they all loved her and were really happy.

And she looks after them if you're away - when I took matey to India for the first time a few years back, she looked after Kurt.

Oh, and that small restau on Ile St Louis that did the duck stuff - here's a link. The chef's the owner and his missus waits the tables if it's a busy night. And it's about the only restau I've found in that central touristy area that has the menu hand written on a blackboard and only in French, not English as well.

If you can't understand a French menu or can't read his French handwriting, then you don't deserve to eat his magrets, confits and foie gras.

Very good reviews on these websites, too. {Book for weekend evenings.}
