As for travel info and preferences I am afraid I sadly cannot edit the Wiki (too much lurking and not enough posting here it would seem) so here goes (perhaps someone could kindly add it in):
Flights/Hotels: N/A since I actually live in Paris.
Breakfast: Yes, with pleasure.
Restaurant: Both options look great but being able to be booked seems to give the edge to Chez La Vieille "Adrienne" in my humble opinion.
Walking Tour: Yes, with pleasure.

It's rather late in the day but if there is still room I would love joining in (many thanks to Yahillwe for this splendid initiative); for me this lovely DO on Saturday, 1 October would be the perfect accompaniment to the Arc, which will be on the following day (Sunday, 2 October), thus making this one a week-end to remember...

I'll add you to the wiki items and just add:
Anyone else interested in joining in at the last minute to this great DO? Open to all @:-)

Good afternoon all 
Well, I've just booked my hotel - I am in the Crowne Plaza Paris-Republique.
I am arriving Friday evening - I land at 18:50 to give me a wee bit of time in Paris Friday night before the main proceedings on Saturday - now Yahillwe your suggestion of tapas is certainly of interest - though if haasha, KARFA and MattHandy are joining the proceedings it might be quite a late one due to their flight times. The other option I suppose is that we all sort ourselves out for dinner and meet up for a few drinks on the Friday later?
After breakfast on Saturday morning I am happy to go with the flow - the walking tour is of interest to me certainly, and I was hoping to pop up to Montmarte at some point during my trip, but I can do that alone. Drinks from 5pm sound good, and as for dinner; Chez La Vieille looks wonderful.
Well, 2 weeks to go. I am very much looking forward to another do and my first time in Paris.

I wonder if you have posted your name to the wiki list.
I think we might be better at going to Chez La Vieille. Am hoping that they would be open by then, I was told that they would. Once am back in Paris I will contact them to confirm.

If you are interested in museums and exhibitions I highly recommend those sites:

Am sure you guys can figure out how to get them in English.
