My latest heart-throb: Jules et Jim, a hidden bar

It’s an authentic little hideaway in the back of a paved courtyard where one finds a trendy boutique hotel in the Marais. Here you really don’t feel as though you were in Paris. The bartender is terrific and there is a small fireplace with a « braseros » ambiance in the courtyard. It’s really cozy and timeless, perfect to go our for an intimate drink.
