I will spend about 10 days in Paris in the beginning of August. Does anyone have specific recommendations for milongas? What are the biggest milongas in Paris? I already found a site listing all milongas but I need more info...

I like le Chantier. It is the place to be on Saturday nights. On Wednesday the best dancers mostly go to La Cumparsita. The nicest place is the milonga at le Comptoir Général, but it isn't listed on the website tango-argentine which you probably consulted. It's on Sunday, I think the second of the month. When you are at a milonga you should really ask around if there is one while you're in Paris. To make sure you already have the address: 80, quai de Jemmapes 75010 Paris. Really beautiful old place with good music and nice people.
By the way, I will also be in Paris for two days in the beginning of August...

I'm sorry not knowing Paris but was so glad to see that name again - had forgotten ...
I read one of his books in Finnish in 70's. I don't remember the text anymore but the feeling when reading!

Thank you for recommendations, pwpulto. The site I found is
letempsdutango and that Sunday milonga is indeed not listed.

The best calender for Paris is tango-argentin (In the language of Boris Vian). Some time ago they stated on their site that Comptoir Général didn't want to be on the site ... and it must be said, it is already popular enough without publicity.
