Chess in Paris

I'm going to spend a few months in Paris and I'm interested in knowing where you can play chess there. I'm not interested in joining a club, but it would be nice to play a few casual games... perhaps in a park, a café ... Give me all your tips!

Kind regards

There's a small, but nice, chess shop in Rue St André des Arts in the Latin Quarter. It's very close to the Notre Dame and they can tell you about some of the best places.

Thank you Heinzkat and Polynka!

I may be many things, but I am not Poly.

Definitivly Café I

Adresse and schedule for the tournaments: http://canalsaintmartin.blogspot.com/

If you speak english fluently, you can get in touch with User 409614 dzhafner. We met there for the first time and became good friends.
If you speak french fluently, you can get in touch with me.

In the summer you can play many people in a park called Le Jardin du Luxumbourg. It's very close to Notre Dame (5 mins walk). On a nice day you can have 300 people turn up there. I spent 8 weeks in Paris a few years ago and spent a lot of time getting beaten up there. 😉

I sent you a message in my best french, but as I'm sure you can notice I am far from fluent (yet). It would be very nice however to meet and play at the café. Thank you for the tip!

Spring in Paris and chess, what can be better than that. I will have a look out when I visit this park.

It is on the far side of the park from the entrance. There are a load of tennis courts, the chess area is just next to them near the bowls. 😉
