WINE BAR

AUTOUR D'UN VERRE
( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; 01 48 24 43 74; 21 rue de Trévise, 9e; 10.30am-10.30pm Tue-Sat; Ca-

det or Grands Boulevards)
You'd be forgiven for thinking that Autour d'un Verre is one of those pop-up places: the in-
terior doesn't appear to have been renovated since the 1950s. But that's all part of its under-
cover appeal - and after a few glasses of Clos du Tue-Boeuf, who cares about decoration
anyway? The selection of natural wines is superb (as is the food).
