About this tour
This session walks the bar streets of Oberkampf: a natural wine bar, a cocktail bar run by a friend of the guide, and one dive bar that has not changed since the 1990s. You watch the wine list explained bottle by bottle, a drink mixed at the counter, and the low light of a room that has kept its old furniture and its regulars. The route runs along Rue Oberkampf and Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud as the street fills up after dark.
The call starts with a quick sound check before the walk moves from bar to bar, stopping longer wherever the guide wants to show something specific. There is time for questions between stops, and a short list of the bars and their addresses comes through afterwards.
This suits anyone curious about the bar culture of this part of Paris rather than the tourist centre. It also suits those who cannot get to Oberkampf themselves but want to see what a weeknight there looks like.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 7 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Paris before heading out.
-
A natural wine bar 21 min
The camera moves along shelves of natural wine from small French producers, and the guide talks with the person who chose them, explaining what makes a wine natural rather than conventional.
-
A cocktail bar 21 min
At the second stop, a friend who bartends here mixes a drink for the camera, talking through what goes into it while regulars fill the room around him.
-
The old dive bar 21 min
The last stop is a dive bar that the guide says has not changed since the 1990s, its neon sign, jukebox and long-time regulars all still exactly where they were then.
-
Your questions 14 min
Time to ask anything about Paris: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 6 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Crêpes and Le Marais, worth a slower look.

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?
The guide walks through Paris, showing you Notre-Dame Cathedral and Musée d'Orsay live on camera, plus whatever else you would like to see.
What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Is this suitable if I do not drink?
Yes. Say so when you book and the guide will focus on the atmosphere and venues rather than the drinks list.
