( 04 93 74 57 06; 10 rue Sade; 10am-midnight Tue-Sat) Wine shop by day and wine
bar by night, Les Sens is a 21st-century cellar: the decor is more designer shop than vaul-
ted basement with its lime-green walls, mezzanine bar and lounge music, but the advice is
excellent all the same, with a great selection of local and French wines.
WINE BAR
Pearl La Siesta
