Cheap Drinks: Jeanne & Marcelle

One of my favorite neighborhood spots is the wine bar Jeanne & Marcelle. Occupying a nook on a sloped street in the 18th arrondissement, Jeanne & Marcelle has a cozy wooden terrace that overlooks the nearby steps and street of rue Diard. It's a lovely place to have a coffee on the terrace, watching the neighbors go by, or to sample some of Guillaume's daily wine specials.

J&M's proprietor, Guillaume, is a fourth-generation wine expert and keeps cool music piping through the bar each day and night. They offer two specials per day: the first, a happy hour, boasts a glass of wine and your choice of a plate of saucisson or cantal cheese. The second is your choice of one of their daily reds, whites or rosés specials for 1€ off the normal price. The limit is four per person, but really, after four glasses of their delicious selection, you should be buzzed enough to pay the regular price, non?

If you're stomach is growling, J&M also offer a formule of appetizer + main or main + dessert, + glass of wine or coffee for just 14€! You can't beat that for a sunny afternoon on a quiet street in Montmarte.
