I have a friend/fellow tanguera who will be spending a week in Paris this
February. She is having problems finding information on milongas. Is
there anyone who could make a recommendation?? Many thanks for your
input...

I've always had luck with this site, although as always with
website calendars, it pays to call when you get there to verify:

The above always gives you the closest Metro station to the
milonga, so then before you go to Paris you can plan your route
from your hotel's nearest Metro station to the milonga station at
this site:

Of course, if you stay late at a milonga, you'll need to take
a taxi home. Often the best way to communicate that to the taxi
driver (particularly if there is a language barrier) is to simply
give him the name of your home Metro station, which any decent
taxi driver should know how to get to.
