I have to admit, cocktails are about the last alcoholic beverage that I used to associate with Paris. Wine, absolutely. Unique and delicious cocktails, never. That all changed on my last trip to Paris when I was introduced to the wonderful world of Paris’ lesser-known cocktail bar scene.
When my husband and I planned this last trip to Paris we did not intend on sipping our way through the city.
