🧠 Fun fact

Le Verre à Pied, a historic wine bar in Paris, has a rich history dating back to the 19th century. A fun fact about this charming establishment is that it was once a favorite haunt of legendary French poets and writers, including Charles Baudelaire and Paul Verlaine. The bar’s name, which translates to “The Footed Glass,” reflects its old-world charm and traditional Parisian vibe, making it a beloved spot for both locals and tourists seeking a taste of literary history and authentic Parisian culture.

Eat and Drink

Le Verre à Pied (wine glass stem) is the tiny but quaint local wine bar/restaurant where Amélie eavesdrops on 50-year-old Dominique Bretodeau, telling the story how an anonymous person returned a metal box full of his childhood memorabilia.

Dominique had hidden the metal box as a boy when he lived in Amélie’s apartment decades earlier.

You can pop into Le Verre à Pied for a glass of wine or stick around for lunch and order the “plat du jour.”
