About Le Baron Rouge
This legendary wine bar near Marché d'Aligre has been pouring wine directly from barrels since 1857. Locals crowd the sidewalk with glasses of inexpensive Beaujolais or Côtes du Rhône, paired with oysters on weekends or charcuterie from the adjacent market, creating a convivial street party atmosphere.
Insider Tips
Visit on Sunday morning when the market is in full swing and locals shuck fresh oysters on barrels outside-it's a quintessential Parisian experience for a fraction of typical wine bar prices.
