Most people do a double-take when hearing the words "Irish Pubs" and "Paris" in the same sentence; let alone seeing them together in the title of a book; but there's some history to place of the Irish in the City Of Light.

The Irish have been influential members of Paris society and contributors to French history for over 400 years. From the establishment of the College de Irlandais in 1578 to the exploits of Napolean's famed "Wild Geese" brigade to the contributions of Joyce, Wilde and later Beckett to Paris’ "café society": The Irish have left their mark on this city.

Paris is a city known by all for its wealth of cultural and historical attractions. Its world-class museums, Napoleonic monuments,huge cathedrals, lush parks, scenic vistas, corner cafés, and leisurely lifestyle all conjure up the ideal of Paris which makes it the most visited city in the world.

Less known is the wealth of authentic Irish pubs in Paris. They dot the landscape of the city and its suburbs alongside the museums, monuments, and parks. On Saint Patrick’s Day the natives join in the party and celebrate with the local Irish as in Boston and New York. Much of the best Paris has to offer can be found in its Irish pubs. We're sure you'll find your perfect pub in this book.
