Ask for a pinte, not a demi
In a French bar a demi is 25cl, about half a British pint, and it is what you get if you just ask for une bière. Say une pinte for 50cl. Most Paris pubs run a happy hour in the early evening when pints are noticeably cheaper, so the same round at seven and at ten can cost very different amounts. For a Six Nations weekend, especially France against Ireland or England, the screens fill well before kick-off; get in early or expect to stand outside.
