Re: Not Allowed to Enter at The Aviation Club in Paris because of my Shoes
I remember another post about this a while back. When I went to Aviation, i made sure to dress well. I did not want to give them any reason to prohibit me as an American who spoke no French. I got in and had a good time and nothing but pleasant interactions (I did a TR about a month ago FWIW). For the most part, the French players were underdressed (or at least compared to my expectations). I think that they were strict with you because the bouncer was looking for some reason not to allow an outsider into the club that night. Dress codes can often be highly variable and are an excuse to legitimize exclusion. Sucks, but just like at major clubs, it happens.
