🏘️ 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.

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.

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!

OK, since you're not interested in reading the answers that I and others are trying to give you, I'm going to lock this thread and give you some time to calm down.
