Les Pipos

Latin Quarter


Natural wines are the speciality of this bar à vins, which it keeps in its vaulted stone cellar. First-rate food – served from noon onward – includes a fish of the day and oysters from Brittany, along with standards such as confit of duck and a mouthwatering cheese board, which includes all the French classics (Comté, Bleu d’Auvergne, Brie de Meaux, Rocamadour and St-Marcellin).
