Guinguettes are open-air venues for drinking and dancing, typically found on riverbanks or lakesides. They originated in Paris during the 17th and 18th centuries as affordable retreats for the working class, serving cheap wine and provide a space for dancing. Although they peaked during the Belle Époque, modern guinguettes have recently revived, featuring a mix of nostalgic and trendy atmospheres. Locations like Rosa Bonheur in Paris showcase the blend of live music, food stands, and a relaxed setting that appeals to all ages.
Une guinguette, roughly pronounced oon-geng-get, refers to an open-air drinking and dancing venue, often located near a river or lake and typically featuring live music.
These rustic establishments first popped up on the edges of Paris in the 17th and 18th centuries, when working-class Parisians sought weekend escapes.
While the golden age of guinguettes was during the Belle Époque, they've seen a revival in recent years, with new guinguettes channelling the same convivial spirit.
Sundays at the open-air bar have become our summer ritual.
