Bar Characteristics
Opened: 2015
While the building's exterior suggests a spacious interior, the actual space feels compact due to low ceilings and closely arranged tables. However, this creates a cozy and intimate atmosphere, adding to the bar's charm. The limited space makes it unsuitable for large groups. Tables and chairs are small and lightweight which may be uncomfortable for larger adults.
This wine bar has a strong identity, skillfully blending cozy and delicate sensibilities. While older customers or men might find the space somewhat unfamiliar due to its unique characteristics, it has a charming appeal that instantly captivates younger customers in their 20s and 30s, especially women.

Wine by the Glass : Seasonal Selection
Customers can taste up to two types of wine chosen by the owner before deciding. The bar clearly demonstrates its commitment to natural wines. The wine collection features natural wines with varying characteristics in terms of terroir, grape variety, and winemaking methods.
The front and side walls display a variety of uniquely labeled bottled wines for customers to browse and select. This space offers an opportunity to experience natural wines from countries, varieties, and winemaking methods that are not easily accessible in France or the general market without direct contact with producers, making it ideal for natural wine enthusiasts.
Editor's wine tasting:
• White wine: Citrusy with a fresh and crisp taste.
• Red wines: The first red wine featured high alcohol content and a full body, reminiscent of a Merlot and Grenache blend, with intense red fruit aromas. The second red wine balanced acidity with subtle oak notes. Both had a slight yeast aroma typical of natural wines, providing a unique experience without being overpowering.
Cultural
The bar's location along Canal Saint-Martin further enhances its appeal, positioning it within a neighborhood renowned for its trendy, youthful energy. As a result, the venue serves not just as a drinking establishment, but as a microcosm of contemporary Parisian social life, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the city's authentic cultural nuances.
Special Points
This atmospheric wine bar is perfect for natural wine enthusiasts or those interested in wines from small-scale producers worldwide who focus on organic methods. The bar is closely connected to the local community, strengthening interactions with residents through various artistic events and programs.
Close to the bustling Place de la République, making it a safe area, but caution is advised late at night near less populated canal areas.
