Hen weekend in Paris

6 friends and I are off to paris in may 2008 for a hen weekend. We are staying in the Latin quarter and was wondering whether anyone could give us an idea of any nearby trendy restaurants/bars we can go to and perhaps clubs for later (not dance/garage music, more mainstream stuff)



Look forward to hearing your ideas

Dear Katek1



Sorry I can%26#39;t help you here, but I think it%26#39;s interesting that NOBODY has replied to your post and also another recent post asking %26quot;where do are all the fun single Parisiens hang?%26quot; also got no response.



Are we all fuddy duddys? or are we all too knackered at the end of a day,%26quot;doing%26quot; culture, visiting museums and monuments and fine dining, that none of us go to bars and clubs?



Surely SOME people Know how to party!



Just a note of caution Katek1. I don%26#39;t know what kind of hen party you are planning but I have NEVER seen the traditional British hen (or stag) party in Paris. i.e.wearing matching tee shirts saying %26quot;Stephs hens 2008%26quot;, fluffy rabbit ears and tails and a veil for the bride with L plates!. Laughing in the street, making loud jokes and falling about drunk.



Don%26#39;t get me wrong, I have nothing against this British institution and have enjoyed many myself including my own, but the French are more reserved.

And again!!



There is always place de la Contrescarpe at the top of rue Mouffetard, always lively at night and full of young people. Also a %26quot;pub%26quot; caled the Bombadier not far from there behind the Panthenon opposite st Etienne du Mont church, on the corner, lots of young people spilling out onto the street having a good time. My daughter and her friends frequented it when they lived in Paris for a short while.



Both of these are in the Latin quarter. You can get food in place de la Contrescarpe and down rue Mouffetard and on rue Pot de Feu off there.. Not sure about %26quot;trendy%26quot; restaurants, depends what you want to pay. Paris is expensive.

I love you Grndma and she is right. Bombardier by the Pantheon is a good spot. The Frog and Princess is a good choice for music and cocktails. There are a bunch of pubs in that area between the Mabillion and St. Germain des Pres Metro stops. The younger crowd hits rue de commerce for Cafe Latin.

Good on ya flashbye!



Lets hope the OP has not gone away, although I am not sure Paris is ready for a full on British hen party!!!!



If you are still there ketek1 please let us know more details. I love weddings and hen parties (had three!) all that female bonding.



I just like wedding cake!

Hi Katek1,



Just wondering how the hen weekend went in Paris? We are planning a hen weekend in Paris for our sister in September %26amp; don’t rely have any information on it. Were the pubs lively? did ye find an area in Paris with a few lively pubs??



Would you be able to recommend a hotel or area to stay?
