CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Natural Wine Vampire
A cave, a bistro, and a métro you nearly catch.
You choose a bar by its bottle list. A good cave turns into dinner, and dinner turns into a run for the last métro.
What they actually do
- Picks the place by what is open by the glass
- Orders the thing nobody can pronounce
- Leaves when the staff start stacking chairs
The contradiction
You have never once left a wine bar at the hour you announced.
A typical route
- Natural wine cave
- tiny bistro
- last métro you barely catch
