Bar du Marché des Blancs Manteaux, Bar and restaurant in the Marais, Paris 4th arrondissement, France
The Bar du Marché des Blancs Manteaux is a bar and restaurant in the 4th arrondissement of Paris, set in the Marais neighborhood close to the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux. Inside, the space is small, with wooden furniture, soft lighting, and a terrace that opens when the weather allows.
The bar takes its name from a former market that once operated in the area, and it has been part of daily life in the Marais for decades. The neighborhood itself shifted over the centuries from a medieval urban core to one of the most lived-in parts of central Paris.
The name of this bar comes from the Rue des Blancs-Manteaux, a nearby street named after a medieval order of monks who wore white cloaks. That connection to the old religious history of the Marais is still part of how locals identify this corner of the neighborhood.
The bar tends to fill up in the evenings, but it is also open at midday, making it a good stop between two visits in the area. Several metro stations are a short walk away, and the surrounding streets of the Marais are easy to explore on foot before or after.
Despite carrying the name of a market, there is no market to be found there today. The name is the only trace left of what the spot once was.
