...So, this September I will be in Paris by myself and am looking for some advice on where to go to meet fellow backpackers. Not staying in a hostel (long story) so just wanna see if anyone knows of any cool bars/pubs for backpackers. And also I will be there for some of the AFL finals, anyone know of any aussie pubs or anywhere they will play the game?
