“La Vache dans les Vignes” Wine Bar (10e)
Nestled along the lovely Canal St Martin sits La Vache dans les Vignes, a neighborhood wine bar specializing in boutique style wine and cheese pairings.

Amidst all of the tourist-driven hustle and bustle in the area, Le Rubis still offers a taste of “authentic” Paris. The modest room is frequented mainly by locals who live or work nearby.

Housed in an elegant space of a historic 17th century building near the renowned Palais Royale, Les Fines Gueules offers a cozy and relaxed setting to enjoy a glass of wine and if you so desire, some charcuterie (assortment of cured meats, pâté, bread, and cheese). The wine bar is also just down the street from Galeries Vivienne and Place des Victoires and makes for a perfect stop after hours spent strolling and window shopping.
Pain. Vin. Fromages (4e)
