Attend soirees in Paris, or a brunch, lunch, cocktail evening or dinner – in someone’s home – no longer availabble
Attend soirees in Paris – meet fun and interesting people from all over the world
“What are soirees in Paris?”, I hear you ask. In my travels [online and off], I’ve come across a few interesting characters, some of whom I’ve met, others I’ve heard about … and I thought I should give them a page of their own.
The list grows every time I hear of some other great apartment whose host or hostess throws open the doors to foreigners and expats and locals, in the name of fun and getting to know strangers.
I like this concept A LOT! In no particular order, here are the soirees in Paris which I know about … if you know of others, do please contact me and I will add them to this page.
If you attend any one of these brunches, lunches, ‘soirees’, cocktail parties or regular dinners, do please write and tell me about it, others would love to hear about it too – I’ll put your notes here as well.
Enjoy!

Well, whether you live here or are visiting, you can come along to one of Patricia’s cocktail evenings or dinners – simply visit her website, sign up for the Newsletter, and you’ll be advised of the upcoming weekly gatherings.
Domingo Barbiery : Soirees in Paris – No longer happening
In 2012, Domingo was hosting soirees in Paris.
Every Tuesday night : http://www.domingoroom.com [and maybe dance]
Sunday Brunches : 12:30pm
I came across Domingo’s website whilst looking for accommodation for a friend visiting Paris, and thought his site was very charming. The room he rents out to visitors looks delightful, and I thought it would be great fun to share his apartment whilst on holidays [70 euro per night, 500 euro per week, as at May 2007]. As I read through the site I discovered he also has get-togethers – pop over to his site and read about his Tuesday and Sunday gatherings.
