Jim's ghost supposedly haunts a Paris bar he was supposed to frequent (which is more likely than Pere Lachaise)....even if it got moved a few yards down the road from where it was.... 
Polly Magoo..........Mark is checling it out so we can add that to the list of Stus Scottish bars for July......
Polly Magoo 11, rue St-Jacques, 5e, Mº St-Michel, tel: 01.46.33.33.64.
Haunted places always possess a certain cachet, no more so than at Halloween, especially when the ghost is someone famous like Jim Morrison. This late-night, ’60s-relic bar was reputedly a favorite hangout for the Lizard King just before he died... Or did he? Whatever the truth, the Polly Magoo today remains the only authentic branché-destroy hangout in the Latin Quarter. Drinks are cheap, space is at a premium and Halloween itself will be studiously ignored. *
Polly Magoo, 3, rue du Petit Pont, Métro: Saint Michel. Open noon to 5am, Sunday to Thursday, and to 8am on Friday and Saturday. This bar bears no relation, beyond the name, to the legendary, sleazy, and legendarily sleazy bar which was further south up the street at 11 rue Saint Jacques and was replaced by a 'boutique hotel' in 2002. Jim Morrison was a regular at the original bar, but the owners of the new version would be unlikely to let anyone that shabby come in. The Gaudi-esque bar and blue mosaic storefront make this bar a must see as well as a must sit for those who like their bars to come with a theme.
Their formule (1 tapas, 1 beer) is 8 euro.
