June 2019 – 30 Place de la Haute Vieille Tour, Rouen, France This is the last post from France, although since I’m working backwards through the trip it was actually the first bar we went to. It was probably my favourite, although by a pretty narrow margin. There were some pretty fantastic pubs in France. …

St Patrick – St Malo
June 2019 – 24 Rue Sainte-Barbe, Saint-Malo, France Okay, here’s another one that isn’t actually a metal bar. But I can’t be the only metalhead that also listens to Dropkick Murphys or Flogging Molly? They played all Celtic/Celtic punk when we were there.

Blackdog – Paris

Le Falstaff & Rammstein – Paris
June 2019 – 42 Rue du Montparnasse, Paris, France We first stumbled across this place on our way to the Eiffel Tower when we saw the warrior on the sign outside. We stopped in to have a look and were sold by the air conditioning (it was 38 Celsius the entire time we were in …
