If anyone would like to do a tour on Friday evening of a particular section of Paris with an inexpensive dinner afterward I would be happy to arrange it. (Last year about fifteen of us toured Montmartre and thirty of us dined after.)
I can think of some areas which are good for walking: Mouftard; Place Clichy and Batignoles; Belleville filled with Asiatic restaurants; Montparnarse, etc., etc.

I've lived in Paris for 18 years and I've never been to the Pere Lachaise cemetary. You can read about it here.

I'm thinking of a few hours tour of the Pere Lachaise Cemetary and then going over to Belleville and having a dinner in what is the second largest Chinatown in Paris.

Any comments on this?

Sounds interesting! What day are you talking about.

Friday or Sunday? and could we discuss it in that section?

Don't feel bad: I've lived in Paris 32 years, now live rue des Pyrénées, which is one of the sides of the cemetery, some 400m south of it, and I wasn't even planning to ever go ;-)

18 years seems like a spring to me!

Anyway, if you're in the area, may I suggest eating at Les Allobroges (slightly cheaper than Firenze, but also top quality -possibly the best quality to price ratio in Paris, and certainly in the Eastern part)? After an apéritif at my place of course (unless Geezer is with us -my lift is too small alas).
