The Best Retro Bars In Paris
Embrace the past, and engage in times gone by. We’ve put together a list of some of the greatest retro and vintage bars in Paris which are sure to get you wishing you were born in a different era.
Le Basile
Swing into Le Basile and find formica, and lots of it. Decorated in the style of an American Diner stuck in the 60s, sitting yourself down at one of the red leatherette wall seats will have you feeling like a cast member from that old show your mom used to watch. Situated just a stone’s throw away from Sciences Po university, the prices are surprisingly cheap considering its location in the upmarket 7th arrondissement. Young and trendy students pack themselves inside for the food deals and a daily happy hour.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.
Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.
Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way.

Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.
Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination.
