Le Motel

Paris


This hole-in-the-wall venue in the hot-to-boiling-point 11e has become the go-to indie bar around Bastille. It’s especially well loved for its comfy sofas, inexpensive but quality drinks (craft beers on tap and craft cocktails; happy hour is from 6pm to 9pm) and excellent music, with live bands and DJs Tuesday to Saturday (plus quiz nights and other events on Sunday).
