The Wine of the Streets (French edition) By Robert Giraud

Le Vin des rues by Robert Giraud is much more than just a collection of bar stories. It is an immersion into an authentic and popular Paris, the one of cobblestone streets, bustling Halles, and bistros where wine is king. Giraud lovingly and humorously depicts the colorful characters who inhabit this nocturnal world: workers, artists, hobos, and anonymous people, all connected by their love of wine and words.

Throughout the pages, the author shares his memories as if speaking to you at the bar, a glass of Beaujolais in hand. He takes you to Chez Fraysse or Chez Paulo, places where the world is reimagined between sips. This book is a true journey through a vanished Paris, that of the quays, the Halles, the Maubert bistros, endless nights where tongues loosen with each shared glass.

The preface by Robert Doisneau highlights the camaraderie between the two men. Nicknamed "the pair of Roberts," they together roamed this intimate and popular Paris, immortalizing its faces and fleeting moments. Their stories and photographs today form a precious heritage.

Le Vin des rues is a tribute to Parisian culture, to its forgotten figures, and to the simple conviviality around a glass. A book for lovers of Paris, its true stories, and its timeless soul.
