Best Bars in Belleville, Paris
Dive bars, natural wine, listening rooms — Paris's most under-rated bar neighbourhood.
Belleville is what the Marais used to feel like. The hilly 19th and 20th arrondissements between Place de la République and Belleville Park combine North African and Asian markets, dive bars, and a growing natural wine scene that rivals the canal.
Eight Belleville picks for a less-touristy Paris night.
