La Belle Hortense

There are dozens of other bars and cafes near this one, but none maintains a bookstore in back, and few seem so self-consciously aware of their roles as ersatz literary salons. Come for a glass of wine and participation in a discussion within what's defined as "a literary bar." It's named after a pulpy 19th-century romance (La Belle Hortense) set within the surrounding neighborhood. Glasses of wine cost 3.25€ to 6€.
