I'll be in Paris with my family next month, and would like to arrange a meeting or two with other bitcoin-people. Who is in/near Paris, and what would be a good time/place to meet?
PS: sorry for not writing in French, it has been a very LONG time since high-school French class...

How often do you get the chance to work on a potentially world-changing project?

I live in Paris and I'd be pleased to meet you, Gavin. Anyone else ? I guess we could meet in a café, restaurant or something.

I might show up as well, if you don't mind somebody trying to convince you that inflatacoin is what we need :-)

As I was thinking about a place where to do this, I thought a symbolic place for finance would be nice.
So, what about having lunch at "la Défense"?
It's quite a nice place with lots of cafés and restaurants, and it's also a large pedestrian place so after lunch we can spend some time there and talk about the project if we want.
Any other idea?

Quartier de la bourse ? Ouais on peut y faire un tour histoire de faire une photo de groupe en face du palais Brognard. Mais c'est pas idéal pour discuter, même si il y a aussi pas mal de cafés dans ce coin.

Ok, just to name a few:
Montmartre, les Halles, le marais. None of these are finances related, but they're nice places to hang. Also Montgallet to go check on some video cards while we talk =P

I know this is not exactly a business meeting, but I'm not sure I want to be some kind of a touristic guide either ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Anyway I really think "la Défense" would be a nice place.

I'm fine with any place really. Let's discuss content a little. Do you intent to match the meeting with a f2f Bitcoin trade meeting?

Guys, if we are very numerous it will be hard to find a table in a restaurant. I can book one but in that case please confirm that you can be in Paris "la Défense" at lunch time on may, the 25th.
But in worst case scenario, we'll always be able to find some room in a café. So I guess it's fine.
