Your night, stop by stop

  1. culture

    Into the catacombs

    We descend into the bone-lined tunnels under Denfert-Rochereau. Twenty meters down, six million Parisians, one very strange first hour together.

  2. food

    Oysters at the counter

    We come back up hungry and order a dozen oysters with muscadet at a zinc counter in the 14th. Cold, briny, alive on purpose.

  3. drinks

    The speakeasy upstairs

    We finish the night with cocktails in a dim room behind an unmarked door. Whisper the password, take the small staircase up.
