I will be in Paris this Saturday night for my birthday and I have always wanted to try absinthe... in the 'traditional' way (if there is such a thing) Just wondering if anyone can recommend and place to go for that.
Also trying to think of what to do for the evening. We are couple in our late-40s, enjoy fine dining, fine drink and a bit of an adventure. We're not really into the clubing scene per-say unless of course its something very different.
Just looking for suggestions... for instance are their any late night tours of Paris on the river or in catacombs. Anything which would different and unique to Paris
Thanks All
Steve
This is a store that carries absinthe and absinthe supplies. I think you're thinking more along the lines of an absinthe bar, but I thought I'd send this anyway:

Oh, and happy birthday!
Here are two web sites for boat tours in Paris. You can tour on the Seine or on the Canal St. Martin. I know there are night tours on the Seine, but am not sure about the Canal. The web sites will give you prices and schedules.

Happy Birthday and enjoy Paris.
Do not expect too much about absinthe, you would be disappointed. Modern absinthe, even said to be traditionnal way, has little to do with absinthe sold at the turn of the century (the other one). It is good, but tastes almost like a Ricard, with a taste a bit different, but not very much. Most of the thuyone, which is the toxic principle that gave it it's character but also it's dangerousness has been removed. This is why it is now allowed but actually, this is a different stuff.
During the Good Friday and Easter Sunday, it is very important you eat the crusts of your bread during your meal. I am not sure if this is the case all the time, but during Easter it is considered to be sacreligious to leave the crusts of your bread on the plate....
Don't be shy !!! When strolling around in Le Marais, you have to be courageous and pass the open doors (or portals) to discover the hidden and probably most beautiful parts of Le Marais : the cloisters set inside the old buildings. Well, if you're too shy to do so, sometimes, some open squares are former cloisters and you can enjoy their design. During a "Music Feast" (in the whole country, on the 21st of June, everybody is allowed to play music in the streets... such a great idea !!!), a friend and I entered a party in Le Marais to which we were not invited. They just opened the door when we were fronting it for some other reasons, so, we decided to behave like guests !!! The house was unbelievable, but everybody was dancing in this huuuuuge cloister of it.... A great memory...
This is found in the Walt Disney Studio section of the Park. The water comes on with a timer and you can pretend you are Mary Poppins, singing in the rain! There are all sorts of things like this placed throughout the Park, which add to the magical experience of the day.
This is the Modern Arc LA DéFENSE.
You can buy a ticket and let yourself be catapulted high up to the roof restaurant and go outside to have a good look at paris.....and at the very old cemetary that once was out of town but now is close to this new, modern Paris....
In 1958 they started the building of this new modern business centre and nowadays 30.000 people work there!!! Imagine....
Comfortable shoes and waterproofs!
Something smart if you want to eat in some of those smart restaurants...the French are very chic. A telephoto lens is very useful for close up shots of all those interesting features that are just too far away. You will also need a wide angle lens if you want to get a shot of the whole of the Eiffel Tower...or prepare for a long walk!
Lots of reels of film ....you can never have too many. A good map of the city showing the Metro stations.
