One of those perfectly French things is a wine bar. It's a place to hang out, try some wines, have some cheese and maybe some olives or dried meats. Whenever I travel to Paris, I make it a point to stop in at a wine bar. They are scattered all over Paris, generally open after 5 pm at night, and are full of Parisians and the occasional Paris tourist. Check out my blog post to find out about my favorite Paris wine bars.
