Drinks & Nightlife
Legendary wine degustation cave, definitely the most popular one in the area due to the very reasonable price (down to 3 € a glass of wine). So there is always crowd but the service is really fast. The only thing is that you might need to keep standing up while drinking and sometimes have to squeeze yourself in there. The next minute, you might surprise yourself having a nice chat with your neighbours. It never happens elsewhere in Paris, trust me!
