Willie’s Wine Bar
13, rue des Petits-Champs 75001

Mark Williamson's wine bar and
 restaurant in the 1st arrondissement is
 a jewel. Stylish, yet comfortable
 and inviting...fine wines, appetizers
...friendly staff and patrons.
 

Opening in October 1980, this
 revolutionary and convivial vinous establishment quickly became part of the fabric of Parisian life.

C'est vrai !
