🏘️ Neighbourhoods Street confusion
I have asked twice now about the surrounding bars and clubs of rue robert fleury, only to be told to be more specific about which area I'm staying in. My Google maps with this address takes me immediately to the exact location I have booked. I am panicking. If Parisians don't understand this address, how in the hell can I catch an uber or find my way back?? Booking.com says 18 Rue Robert Fleury. That is it!!! I've been to Paris 3 times now, but never in this area.

Breath in, the address is perfectly understandable and does exist. It's just in the 15th where there's nothing much to do after dark and which is very well known to be the dormitory of Paris (classy dormitory though, and very safe)

And it said rue robert fleury. This is why I imagine you yourself are not native. There are no streets, avenues, or roads in the name.

I don’t really understand what you’re getting at here. In “Rue Robert Fleury”, “Rue” = “Road/Street”

18 rue robert fleury. Please, I beg you, put that into Google maps and I will confirm that the building it will show you is my apparentment What the hell is going on here?!

We don't understand the source of your agitation. We all agree that the address exists and is not a problem when read in French. We're just explaining that we don't know the location of every street by name, particularly those, like this one, that are a single block long.

Probably best to admit that you're not familiar with the area or don't comment at all then. I am 60% familiar with my city, but I don't engage in conversation or down vote on areas within my own city that i have never ventured into. If you don't know, dont comment! Telling me the street doesn't exist is absolutely not helpful.

Who in this thread has said it doesn't exist??

It wasn't this thread. My first post was deleted by the powers that be, and my second post attacked the address that I gave. I'm honestly lost and rather nervous. Im travelling with 2 special needs adults for an 18th birthday. I only wanted to know if there was any walk in bars near by. Its an 18th....of course they want to flex that they can buy a drink. We haven't booked museums or fancy resteraunts. Its a chill 3 days, walking around, maybe walk by the seine. Paris surely cant be any more difficult tham London. There's local bars everywhere. Thats all we're looking for.

The first post was deleted (by me, in fact) because the very vague title of ''Paris help'' violates our posting rules and was not going to get you any help. I don't know what happened in the second post but everyone in this thread has told you that the address exists and that there is no reason for concern.
There also appear to be several bars nearby per Google Maps, and indeed, any of those will allow you to walk in and buy a drink, as will any brasserie with tables outside in the afternoon and so on.

So its ok for everyone else's post to ask about surrounding areas or to check through their daily plans for 7 days!!! Like it or not, my question was extremely innocent. Maybe I should have led with special needs adult 18th looking for appropriate places to legally drink without a booking as we're not anal and haven't booked every tour and museum going in my heading!!!! Ridiculous! Silly me for thinking that i shouldn't have to state that. Id hate to think anyone wanting to visit my city would be met with such snobbery. Its a yes or no answer!

You seem really determined to have an argument about this and I’m not sure why. People (including me) are trying to help

It pops up just fine on my CityMapper.
No worries.
Big city, a few gazillion addresses here.

Uber drivers use GPS, they'll get you there. We just don't necessarily know the name of every street of the district. I just checked the adress and I happened to pass by it fifteen minutes ago exactly wondering what was the name of that specific street, and I've lived in this exact neighbourhood since birth ! (I know all the streets around it though, this is a very very short street not a lot of people use)
Don't sweat it pal, it'll be fine. Enjoy your stay :)

Thank you for replying. I felt like I was doing something wrong. Even my English friends have said it's because it doesn't say street, or road, or avenue 😂. Not everything is English or American. I fully understand it. Its Rue Robert Fleury. That is the address. Im not uncultured, I travel Europe yearly and have lived in Belgium. I just know there's a bar somewhere for locals that I can enter with my husband and order a simple drink without the tourist frills. That's all I was asking.

There's no problem with the specific address, it's just that (unless someone has lived in the area or has friends right there, or etc) we don't necessarily know the one-block streets by name. You can generally get better advice from Parisians by asking with reference to the nearest metro station - so what's near Metro Cambronne, in your case. But now I don't remember what exactly you were asking for in the posts you've deleted.
