Rouge ou Blanc, caviste & bar à vin
the natural, organic and biodynamic wine selection
Small caviste‑wine bar with a short list by the glass and a few snacks. Calm, friendly service—better for a quiet drink than a long meal. Best after 7pm; seats are limited.
In Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
Rouge ou Blanc is a small caviste and wine bar at 3 Rue Saint-Sulpice in Paris's 6th arrondissement (near Odéon), specializing in organic, biodynamic, and natural wines, with beers, charcuterie and cheese platters as accompaniments. It has only about 12 seats, giving it an intimate, cellar-like setting; reviews consistently praise the friendly, knowledgeable service and cozy atmosphere. It typically opens from late afternoon/evening (around 4–6pm) into the night, closed Mondays, which matches the curator's 'best after 7pm, limited seats' note. Prices run roughly €20–€30 per person and it ranks highly among Paris wine bars. This corroborates the curator's framing of a quiet-drink spot rather than a dining destination.
