Paris's Finest Bars with Fireplaces

“In March, when the weather is nice, take your coat,” goes a local saying.

La Cave de l’Insolite, 11th arrondissement, Paris

Head to the bustling 11th arrondissement! Nestled between Parmentier and Oberkampf, La Cave de l’Insolite exudes an old-school vibe. With its vintage furniture, modern takes on classic home-style cooking, and retro-jazz music, it’s a place where you’ll feel right at home! Plus, it’s packed with natural wines—a must for alternative wine lovers looking to avoid sulfites and pesticides…
The star here is the stove. Everyone’s eyeing it up, hoping to snag a table right next to it. It’s running at full blast and giving off a nice, comforting dose of warmth! Two hours later, we’re still here, with the waiter as our new friend (we liked his Facebook page, shhh), a lovely Syrah in our glass, and a Biscay black pig we’re trying to tackle. In short, we’re not leaving…

The period fireplace at the Hôtel Providence, Paris’s 10th arrondissement

To all of you who know ALL the best spots in Paris—the ones that only the “in-crowd” know how to share discreetly—we’re going to let you in on a little secret. Never rest on your laurels, right?
Did you know that the intersection of Strasbourg Saint-Denis, Porte Saint-Martin, and République has a cobblestone street—a haven of peace, so to speak?
There, hidden away, is a 19th-century mansion—classy, right? Welcome to the Hôtel Particulier, the new ultra-trendy spot for yuccies*! Amid authentic moldings, velvet seats, hardwood floors, and antique paintings, the bar has a little secret: its period fireplace!
The armchairs are waiting just for you, and George—your new boyfriend (you’ve got to set the right tone, right?)—has already poured you a glass of champagne. Your iPhone is already on silent mode; you dare to kick off your heels and listen to the crackling fire. George can talk all he wants. You’re already somewhere else 😉

The Yurt at the Peninsula Hotel, Paris 16th

Just because your friends are taunting you on Facebook with their ski vacation photos doesn’t mean you can’t have a good time too!
Okay, so you won’t get calf cramps or a sunburned nose. But it’s still worth the trip! Get off at the Kleber metro station and step into the ultra-chic Peninsula Hotel. You won’t be staying the night here, sorry, but you can enjoy a glass of mulled wine with gourmet open-faced sandwiches in a yurt. What? Yes! A REAL YURT!
It’s from Mongolia and will be here until March 31. Inside, you’re guaranteed a mountain-chic vibe! Wood, animal skins, blankets (Colmar, please), and above all, its little fireplace… an electric one! It’s super stylish, keeps you nice and warm, crackles, and even has artificial logs. That’s something, at least! Now it’s your turn for some serious selfies with your hat on and your nose already red from… the fireplace, of course!
