Anyone from the forum going?
Perhaps a nice pre Christmas weekend in gay Paris with the other half... bit of shopping? She thinks shoes and handbags... you think a new boat!?

We are seriously considering having a presence there at the show. Of course, rather unsurprisingly for me, that means I will be on the Jeanneau stand where a huge display will be available to view. Not the entire range, but a damn good try.

Of probably interest to the forum will be the word premiere of the new Leader 38 and maybe of less importance to the bulk of forum members, but something I really enjoy, on the fishier side of things the world premiere of the 695 Marlin too.
If anyone does visit, you will find me easily enough, I'll be the rather lost looking dealer loitering around the steps or stand desk hoping that someone who speaks English or at least Franglais comes for a chat.

On a more social note, if you do come, the likelihood is that I will be there for the second weekend and if you fancy a beer in the evening (rather than the romantic meal you promised your wife) then I am sure I could be persuaded out from the hotel bar! :-)

If you are going, whatever you do go to see, I hope the show is successful for you and you have a great day or weekend there.

I'm going on the 12th. There and back in a day! I'll come and speak English to you although I'm afraid I'm more interested in the MC4! Never been before, so looking forward to it.

Even if you are interested in the competition (I speet on your Emsee Foor - said in my best French accent), it would be great to say hello).
 
Went there in the late eighties to set a stand up. My memory from those days is a little fuzzy but I do remember a champagne & oyster bar and neoprene bikini clad roller skating promo girls! :D
 
I was actually planning on going for the final weekend, but will most likely go when the majority suggest they are.
Still undecided for sure and will wait to see the response from a marina and client emailshot.

It would be good to catch up with people if the dates tie in though.
