1. Bibou
We're making a delightful little detour by introducing a wine bar that we particularly love. Just a stone's throw from the lovely Montholon square, a discreet bistro whispers to curious passersby to open its door and pause for a moment. A hideaway that feels like a speakeasy where plates are devoured, laughter flows, and time stands still. Behind the checkered curtain of this new bistro that has speakeasy vibes, there's a bubble outside of time rhythmed by French music from the 70s/80s where you can dance joyfully . Warm-colored woodwork, a counter where elbows and secrets rest, and a soft light like a perfectly chilled glass of white wine. We laugh, we toast, we...talk loudly. Because here, Paris comes alive!
