Planning tips: Bars in Paris

Where to look
Many of Paris's most popular bars are found in Le Marais, Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montmartre, the Canal Saint-Martin and the 8th arrondissement around the Champs-Élysées.
When to go
April to June and September to October bring mild weather and fewer crowds than July and August.
Prices & tipping
Prices are in euros; service is included in the bill in France, so tipping is a small extra rather than an obligation.
Getting around
The Métro and RER reach almost every neighbourhood, and central districts are easy to explore on foot.
Good to know
Popular cocktail bars fill up after 9 pm, so arriving early or booking ahead helps.
