4th of July in Paris alone, any suggestions on where to meet other Americans?
I'm going to Paris on Friday and would like to know if anyone
knows of any 4th of July parties or activites for americans.
I'll be alone over there and it would be great to join
any activities on July 4.

attend the American church when you get there -- either they will be
sponsoring something or you can network and find out

I shouldn't be commenting that, but what a traveller afraid of being alone
in a strange country !!
Well you could spend the evening at Mc Donalds to remind you of home, but
now Ill be more helpful : pick a copy of Fusac (see their site) and you'll
see where to go apart from the church...
Try Harrys bar rue Daunou...
I really cant understand why you come in the first place...Is it sooo
difficult to forget your country for one single evening ??

There is a free magazine called Fusac that is found at a number of places
all over Paris that tells about parties at American restaurants.

I think I'd be a bit hesitant to attend one. Ordinarily I don't put
much stock in all the "the French hate Americans" crap, but such a
distinctly American festival might draw some unwelcome attention from
Arab Moslems there. (Or perhaps not - who knows?)

How do you deduce from his post that he's "afraid" of anything?
Perhaps "family" holidays don't exist in France (although I would find
that hard to believe). In the U. S. Thanksgiving, Christmas (or
Passover) and Independence Day are traditionally family celebrations.
If one is alone at such times, with nothing special to do, one CAN be
lonely.

The issue is not one of "forgetting" ANYTHING - purely one of feeling
lonely on an occasion when he is accustomed to being with people,
partying. I'm sure if he were invited to dinner or a party by French
friends it would allieviate the loneliness adequately, even though your
holiday comes ten days later, on 14 July.

If my memory serves me right, this question was asked this time last
year.
(sigh) Things just don't change. Other countries still refuse to
celebrate the Fourth of July. And now even Iraq's Independence Day is a
week earlier than the "real" Independence Day.

No more so than there is a party at Fort Knox.

No, it won't. It would be a greater potential target for terrorists, in
theory, but the risk of that is still very low.

One can be, but one need not be. They are just days like any others. I
haven't spent any of these holidays with anyone in many years, and I'm
not lonely.

If it were only that, then any gathering of people would suffice--it
wouldn't have to be for the Fourth of July. And as far as "partying"
goes, one can get drunk just about anywhere in Paris.

Iraq was already independent before it was invaded.
