Paris Master Thread

[Yehoshua]

Nope, no other anti-semitic attacks going on in France, no Jews are leaving, and no Jews have a bad gut feeling walking around Paris

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you there. I'm not interested in moving to Paris, just visiting, which I still believe will be ok in six months (assuming nothing new happens). Will it be scary? Maybe. Is it worth it to see Paris for the first time. I think so.

tmendy had several posts disagreeing with that.

That being said assuming things are calm in 6 months there's no reason not to go as long as you take simple precautions.

tmendy is not the norm (all due respect, tmendy).

That's the plan!

Let's see what happens after this..
I've heard people wanting to start selling real estate in France to invest elsewhere.

Traveling to Paris next week, two nights for business, any recommendations for decent hotel that is close to some kosher establishments (hopefully that deliver!?!).
Don't have to use points necessarily - I have UR but don't want to splurge on Park Hyatt since it's just me. Ideally something relatively near the train station where the TGVs run. Thanks

Not the norm for Americans that only their stuff from foreign medics that don't understand and/or extremely exaggerate the situation.

[Didnt you know that all the french Jews in Natanya left Israel after the horrible terror attach the night of the seder at the hotel a few years ago? And now all begian jews are also leaving and of course 80% of english jewery doesn't see its future in Europe. The only place where Jews will stay is the place where most Jews were killed in the past 70 years and one of the most dangerous places in the world according to any objective person (including all news analysts that Dan likes to quote)... I'll let you guess what that place is.

I guess all Jews should move back to Russia since it's the only country (with a decent size jewish community) where antisemitism is going down. Definately way better than the U.S. No jihadists wants to have Putin in his back]

P.S. Obviously I did not take anything that was posted here personally and I hope the same is with everyone else.

You seem to have a problem with Israel. If you do just say so, you're entitled to your opinion.

I agree with Dan 100%. Nothing is "exaggerated". The army is by all Jewish schools and Shuls and fears of a civil war are only growing. I cannot wait to fly back to NY on Monday!

Interesting to note that 6 Jews were killed between Charlie Hebdo and Hypercacher, a rather high percentage suggesting that Charlie Hebdo was hit for more than one reason.

Has anyone used Uber in Pari, recently?
What else is close by to the Park Hyatt, besides the Italian place in the wiki? (Including grocery stores)
Thanks

Uber X in Paris is considerably cheaper than a regular cab! Their cheaper option is Uber pop, where a regular person (not a driver) will pick you up in their car.

It's not a regular person it's a official uber driver with his personal car that can be a 2 door car or as big as a prius

Of course it has to be a an official Uber driver. I have taken it a few times and I meant to say that it is not your typical Uber/taxi ride. It's pretty much like your cousin picking you up.

No doubt it is.

No problem

Uber X was fantastic and at least 20% cheaper than a cab. The driver wears a suit and opens the door for you in and out.
