Les Caves Populaires

A much-loved Batignolles institution, this characterful neighbourhood bar à vin lures a loyal crowd with its vintage scarlet-tiled façade and well-curated French wines, craft beers, Jean Boyer pastis and absinthe, among other artisanal spirits. Cheese and charcuterie platters to share (€14) quell hunger and you can borrow playing cards and other traditional games at the cheery-red bar with copper top.
