The 17th arrondissement of Paris is often seen as the elegant link between the Haussmannian avenues ofAvenue des Ternes, the lively Place de Clichy neighborhood, and the village charm of Batignolles. It's a neighborhood with two faces: sophisticated and quiet, lively without being hectic, ideal for going out for a drink and extending the evening. Whether you're a fan of creative cocktails, a loyal craft beer drinker, or curious about natural wines, the 17th arrondissement has something to appeal to everyone.
One of the great assets of the 17th arrondissement is its cocktail bars in the heart of Batignolles or on Rue de Lévis, where mixologists compete to offer you imaginative concoctions. Think homemade infused gin or a bitter with forgotten citrus fruits, all against a backdrop of velvet banquettes and soft lighting.
At Place de Clichy, the atmosphere becomes more festive in its craft beer bars with happy hour, local pints, DJ sets, and sports broadcasts. In addition, the neighborhood's wine cellars are true havens for those who enjoy tasting a light Gamay or a good glass of biodynamic Pinot in an unpretentious setting.
What's more, the 17th arrondissement also charms with its geography! The first half of the 17th, on the Batignolles side, reveals tree-lined, sun-drenched terraces, while the second, on the Ternes and Etoile side, is home to more chic bars and rooftop terraces with views over the Paris skyline.
So, whether you opt for a signature cocktail, a local beer, or a glass of fine wine, here are some great places to go!
