The graticule in Paris has been calculated from "Notre Dame de Paris", considered the heart of the city. There's a stone saying that there (it is even said to be the center of all roads in France, "Point 0 des routes de France"), so it must be true.

The area around Paris is full of Parcs, small towns and farms to meet up.

Paris turns out to be at the north of the graticule, so locations at the far south may be difficult to reach; on the other hand, 49 2 contains most of the northern suburbs of Paris. Ilia suggests to designate the 49 2 graticule as Paris North, and to use it whenever convenient.

To get to the location, use [Parisian Common Transport website].

Locations and geohashes

The gps location for 2008-05-20 is in a farm at Moissy-Cramayel.

2008-05-24 48 2 : Ilia thought it was in Fontainebleau and went there, but the real location was in the middle of nowhere far south of Paris.

2008-05-31 48 2 : In a forest near Orléans. For a beginning geohasher like Ilia the location seems fairly unreachable, so he will try the 49 2 graticule instead.

For similar reasons, Anap tried (successfully) for the previous day's location near the small town of Grez-sur-Loing, which turned out to be easy to find and very pleasant.

2008-06-12 48 2 : In the middle of a road, in Cachan, south of Paris. Ilia will be there around 16:00, and invites other geohashers to come there for an improvised meetup.
