ESPN MNF in France? (1 Viewer)

[tombonneau]

So I'm going with a buddy to Paris in a few weeks and didn't realize until after the fact he conveniently booked it for the first two weeks of the NFL season. Brilliant.

Anyway, my Pats play week 1 on MNF and I'm wondering if any European-based fans or ex-pats can tell me how easy it is to find ESPN MNF in Paris? Will it be pretty standard in most sports-like bars? Also, given the major time differences, will any place even be open?

Alternately, are there some online alternatives? Thanks!

ESPN America will carry the game live. Should be pretty easy to find a sports bar in Paris that caters to ex-pats.

I think that game is pre-empted for the World Series of Fondue.

Guess there will be several pubs showing the NFL, f.e. this one: http://www.mooseparis.com/events.php

You're going to Paris, with a dude, on opening weekend?

Excellent. Thanks for the link. I'll have to do more searching as it gets closer.And yes, Whately (or should I say, "Whatley!"), I know I opened myself up asking this question. I'm only going because he had the trip booked with his then girlfriend and since they broke up, the flight was on his points and he didn't want to lose it, so I'm only paying some airfare fees and hotel.

And since I know he didn't have many other friends with the means or flexibility to pick up and go I said yes. Of course, that was before consulting a calendar, otherwise I would have given it much more thought ......
