Casa Paco Paris 16ème

To relax at the bodega Casa Paco, close to place de l'Etoile, at the corner of Marceau avenue.

For the lovely decoration of its walls, covered with azulejos, these famous tiles of earthenware, original ceramics and bullfight posters.

To nibble, on a flamenco background music, planchas, tapas, pata negra and tortillas.

To find in Paris a sunny spot in a latino atmosphere, quite simply.
