They are usually full of French people. English speakers, whether visitors or residents, usually avoid them like the plague. mike.j.harvey@gmail.com a écrit : >> Chakaba a écrit : >>> For improving my english. But where are these Pubs?

SignatureJerry Friedman > So where could Chakaba find English speakers in Paris? Gare du Nord? English classes organised by the mairie? Why ask me? > > So where could Chakaba find English speakers in Paris? > > Gare du Nord? English classes organised by the mairie? Why ask me? Anyone's allowed to answer, but since you know where English speakers don't go, I thought you might know where they go (and are available for conversation). SignatureJerry Friedman >> > So where could Chakaba find English speakers in Paris? >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >don't go, I thought you might know where they go (and are available for >conversation). You'll find a few round the Place Vendomme, but conversation might be a few euros extra. To be serious, there are two English-speaking organisations in Paris for women: The American Women's Catholic Group, and The British Commonwealth Women's Association. To join either, you just have to be a woman and speak some English. I don't know about organisation for men or families, except for what we called the British Sports Club, but an enquiry to either the British School of Paris http://www.cobisec.org/bsop.htm or the American School of Paris http://asparis.schoolyard.com/pages/sitepage.cfm?page=5182 could possibly provide help.

There were mirrored signes for Guiness, and adverts for "Guiness 'n Whelks 1:-" on the wall. The floors had sawdust, and the tables were marble tops set on the metal frames from Singer sewing machines. I have visited a fair few pubs in my life, but I have never seen one similar to this in England. So "typically English" pubs are not normally typically English. > > > For improving my english.

Not this one misremembered? <http://www.oreillys.com/amsterdam/index.htm> No entry for Henry's in the phone book. BTW, Irish pub are more popular by far in the Netherlands than English ones. Perhaps the Irish food is less awful? > I have visited a fair few pubs in my life, but I have never seen one similar > to this in England.

Of course, it is more English than any English pub can possibly be, Jan There are firms supplying, what are, in essence, flat-packed British and Irish pubs for erection inside a pre-gutted building abroad. A pal spent 6 enjoyable months in Japan installing them in various locations. There is an "Irish pub" on the platform (voie pair) at Valence station, (Rh?ne Alpes). The older station not the TGV one. > There are firms supplying, what are, in essence, flat-packed British > and Irish pubs for erection inside a pre-gutted building abroad.
