Chez Bouboule

Montmartre & Northern Paris


Pétanque game washed out? Head to Chez Bouboule, which has a packed-sand indoor boulodrome (pitch for playing the bowls-like sport) right inside the buzzing bar (equipment is free). Craft beers, wines and ciders are available alongside cocktails such as its signature Bouboule, made with gin, mint, cinnamon, pepper and juniper berries. It also has table football and shows big-screen sporting fixtures.

Its success has seen it open outposts in the 2e and 11e.
