The marché Aligre is very
trendy nowadays. Not only trendy but also cute and a MUST. Maybe one of the
smaller open air markets I prefer in Paris since Sunday flea bric a brac and
fruit, vegetables, flowers and food are mixed in the same market. And craftsmen
work in front of you. Among
all this, a Norman, David Gauliard succeeded to keep in the BARON ROUGE, the
small café he runs since years, this ambience of popular essence by bringing
some freshness inside. A pleasant, no nonsense bar with wooden floors, that opens
out onto the street The people you see standing at the bar in the morning are
not random tourists, they are daily customers and know what a good glass of wine
is. So if you're looking for something a different from the normal classic bar
and you don't mind sipping wine, this old wine cellar could make a very nice
change one afternoon. David Gauliard likes to take life slowly, and staying open
late is not one of his priorities. More than 30 wines you can order by a glass
between 10 and 25 FF. And the wine can have a companion: a good plate of cheese
or charcuterie, with delicious bread and a …simple knife. Forget about the
fork: unknown in this place! And be prepared to eat standing at the counter or
near the wine barrels Its possible to buy wine by the bottle, and on Sundays you
can sample a few oysters from the stalls in the street outside. Good mood is
standard here but the bell rings at 21.30!! Closing time! A bit early, no?
