CIAO·PARIS
One of 13 Paris types
The Night Flâneur
Out at nine, three bars, home on foot.
You book the first bar and nothing after it. Each drink picks the next address, and the walk in between is most of the night.
What they actually do
- Starts with an aperitivo and no fixed second stop
- Crosses the canal for one specific bar
- Measures a night by how far it drifted
The contradiction
You hate planning, and you know which three bars are still open at 1am.
A typical route
- Oberkampf aperitivo
- a bar with no sign
- Canal Saint-Martin at 2am
