JOE NIGHT – Throughout the games, Joseph Ghosn has one mission: to tell you about Parisian nights. A new stop at Canal Saint Martin, a paradise of natural wine bars.
“Can you write about the sky? Ah, but no helicopters at night, right? in the sky?” The friend who made this request to me continues to wonder if the night clouds are really as beautiful as they can be at this moment, at the end of the day, caught in the last light of the sun. It’s raining tonight, a how many drops. Which fits well with the district where we wander, and where the Parisians have a strong impression of meeting. There are no gates here, everyone sits on the water’s edge, and they say there are wine bars is the highest concentration on the planet. They would be more than neighborhood people whisper to me. We settled on Verre Volé, one of the oldest in the neighborhood. “We just found places for badminton events : Not bad, isn’t it, they tell us, in the sense that any ordeal will satisfy their need to see something, rather than leaving empty-handed, empty-eyed. “Paris is lucky,” they continue. Even this bar wouldn’t be anywhere else like this. It’s so vintage, like the 1970s, right?’

We tell them about the time in the not-so-distant past in the completely empty Canal Saint-Martin, with barely a restaurant or two around and one night bar that eventually pulled down its curtain to resist the onslaught of natural wine sellers. . Walking around the neighborhood later, we ended up at one of our favorite places in Paris, the early June restaurant. Camille and Victor, who run the place, find us a table, despite the end of service, long enough to drink and experience this place, one of the most popular with foreigners passing through the city. Besides the guest chefs who come from the best restaurants on the planet, the charm of the place comes from Camille and Victor, unbeatable smiles and rare bottles that are opened immediately. “You’re label drinkers,” Victor told us one night, and he’s not wrong. the bottles it offers carry the most exciting labels possible, rare gems.
Personality test
In the middle of the orange wine, which is visibly melting, someone offers a game. At the end of this fun test, we understand that it is a personality exercise invented by Carl Jung. We leave worried. who wants to know who they really are at this time of night? A friend sends a text to save us from this unexpected introspection. “Are you coming to Tony’s? The concert will start soon. Le Tony is this bar on Rue des Petites Ecuries where you can listen to bands practicing their skills in a slightly gothic but festive atmosphere. Nights there start on Thursday and end on Saturday (sometimes forgetting to mention Friday). On the way, we meet a couple on Magenta Boulevard who are in tears. However, they seem to have everything to be happy. But it must be the electricity of Paris at night, in July, in the middle of the Olympic Games. Love will emerge from the Olympics. We’re pretty sure these two are going to be locking doors in each other’s faces before long. Their night will be shorter than ours.
