2. La Trinquette: The best Cheese &Wine in the Centre Between Les Halles and Republique, La Trinquette is probably one of the greatest wine bars in Paris. Opened by three young wine lovers from South West France, this place is perfect for a short stop while visiting Le Forum de Les Halles or the charming and very famous Rue de Rivoli. Reasonably priced, it will encourage you to stay for hours thanks to its exquisite selection of regional cheeses and many other French snacks.

3. Le Cinquante: A retro bar in East Paris By the very cinematographic Canal Saint Martin, this wine bar is the type of place where people easily fall in love. As its name indicates, Le Cinquante is an institution for lovers of the 50s. The old furniture will take you back to the days when women used to wear red lipstick and men wore cords while smoking, and drinking a bottle of Bourdeaux. But wines and atmosphere are not the only good things at this fifties bar á vins. Live music is also available here to make your Parisian night even more enjoyable. If you like jazz, don’t hesitate to pop in!

4. Les Papillions: One of the oldest wine bars in Paris The famous Rue Mouffetard is one of the most famous, charming and historical streets in Paris. It will surprise you through a succession of small cafés, vintage clothing boutiques and of course, wine bars. Near the Marché de Patriarches, there´s a little wine paradise called Les Papillions, which remains in the days of May 68. This is a mythical place on the Left Bank, so you won´t feel far from the stories written by Hemingway in his famous novel A Moveable Feast!

There’s no doubt that it is one of the most amazing stories hidden behind this heaven called Paris.”
