Hello Papaula !

First of all, welcome smile.gif

So, you'll certainly ride in the Friday Night Fever of the 6th of October ! Don't hesitate to come at Pari-Roller' Tent, you'll find some people of the International Team, they'll give some tips and informations smile.gif

And if you want to join the forum members, we're usually meeting at the Wood Snack House, just in front of the Station Entrance smile.gif

Have a pleasure trip in Paris !

Hi Papaula !

Icy said it all - keep in touch, and come early to say hi when the big day arrives!

Safe skating,
Mayken

Great timing, Papaula :

October 7th is "nuit blanche" in Paris. One night dedicated to arts, events of all sorts everywhere, the whole night ! There might even be a rollerskating ride on that night (it's unconfirmed as of yet, but it did happen 2 years ago). In any case, you will have met some of the crazies the night before at the FNF, so you could also hook up with a group for more fun that night.
And if you stay till late on the 8th, there's also the sunday afternoon ride, a more leisurely stroll through the streets of Paris.

Good point Papy Hub, good point smile.gif

Welcome, bring us the sun from Brazil, we may need it in october (even if the ride occurs at night)
Papaula
Icy, Mayken, Hub, David!
Great!
Already 4 friends in Paris!! smile.gif
I will be there with 2 friends that don´t rollerblade, so will need some time with them too, but sure will be there the 6th to rollerblade with you!
I´ve read about the nuit blanche, tell me more..
Tell please, exactly where do we meet for the ride? And what time should it be good?
Regarding sunday.. I´ll be leaving at 23h, so maybe can handle rollerblading in the afternoon...
Although.. I will only have 4 days at Paris and it´s my first time.. so need to get to know all the touristic point either!! Oh God! Not enough time!.. hehe...
Send me pictures of you so I know how to look over you in the D day.. hehe

ps: I will hopefully take the sun with me!! Not a big fan of the cold weather...

So, let's begin information meeting biggrin.gif

The Friday Night Fever starts at 10pm at Montparnasse Station (We are just between the station entrance and the Montparnasse Tower). The ride is about 25/30 km and ends at 1am at the departure point... It's not suitable for very rookies, so be sure you can brake and control your speed smile.gif

The Sunday Stroll is easier, that's our family's stroll. It starts 2.30 pm at Bastille and ends at Bastille at 5.30 pm.

And for the touristic points, there are so much of them in Paris that I can't tell you every one ^^
Papaula

Icy

About "Nuit Blanche", see some preliminary info at :
http://www.paris.fr/portail/Culture/Portal.lut?page_id=6968
(unfortunately only in French)

There will be a dedicated website, due to open mid-september.

I googled for stuff in English about it, and happened upon this, apparently written by an enthusiast:

CITATION

The yearly Nuit Blanche is probably nothing new for the french people on this site, or foreigners living in Paris or tourists repeatingly returning. But for the others, people that will be in Paris the 7 and 8th of october or who maybe plan to come I thought it could be intresting to tell a bit of this phenomenon, and also for the others already into this event it could be intresting to get some suggestions on what can be worth to see this night.
The concept of Nuit Blanche or the sleepless night is to make culture availble to everyone, this is done by once a year by keeping cultural Paris awake the whole night. This meaning most tourist attraction, museums, cinemas and yes even swimmingpools beeing open all night entrance free. And ofcause the metro run until the morning to make it possible to connect to all the areas in Paris, cause every district of the city has something to offer or rather allot, sevreal small and big events going on everywhere, and also Paris will be in lights all night. Not only in Paris things are happening, there will be avents also in Versailles, Saint-ouen-L’Aumône and Gentilly (the RER will be going there). The theme of this years Nuit Blance is divirsity and crossbreeding, something the responsible for this years events call a very importent part of the Paris spirit.
There are so many events going to happen (the strangest might be the underwater concert that will be held in the swimmingpool on Saine) that its impossible for me to bring them all up, and many of the artists I know very little about, not to say nothing. So for those more into this event or that knows of the artists it would be great to get some suggestions on what to see and do!
The program can be found on http://www.paris.fr/portail/Culture/Portal.lut?page_id=6968 sadly only in french.
Best Regards
Emma

Et oui ! Même si on n'a pas beaucoup de visiteurs espagnols, on recrute toujours du monde qui parle les langues étrangères !
Slaelia
Je n'ai pas le niveau de patinage pour assumer le rôle de staffeur, je pense.

Damn it's English section >_<

Just a last thing: I'm not a girl, though my nick is Slaelia. It's just related to the fact I've been playing several massively multiplayer online games with this nick, and that I feel like somehow keeping it for my "web" identity.

Well, "staff" international is not quite accurate, I should have corrected that. It's "Team International", and Aurélie is always glad to have people around before the skate starts who speak foreign languages (the inconvenience of the international staff is that exactly when the foreign skaters arrive, we are away in the staff briefing...).
So, if you're interested...
Slaelia
Well, definitely. I'm always up for such kind of help, as long as I'm there, I'm free for English / Spanish translations. But bare in mind that I'm far from fluent in Spanish, and that my English is definitely not 100% accurate.

I'll pm you for further info.
