French Riviera

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Female mixologist Adèle Fardeau is the creative energy behind this stylish newcomer. Vintage posters for Nice, Menton and other beach resorts on the French Riviera decorate the walls and cocktails – Cannes, Pampelonne and so on (€13) – are equally evocative of France's hot south. Antibes packs a punch with rum, cointreau, mango syrup, lemon, passion fruit and a sprinkling of herbes de Provence.
