Who said it was hard to find natural wines in the Maubert neighborhood? At her turquoise cave à manger just a stone’s throw from the Collège de France, the fabulous Clara Bonnier (a former sommelier at Sobre) casually unveils her impressive bottles.

As for the food, there are easy-to-eat snacks available: creamy stracciatella sprinkled with fish roe, freshly sliced Matanza ham, oysters with samphire and yuzu butter… // Wanda Wagner 

The bullet-proof bottle: Described as a “picnic wine” by the owner, opt for Fou Rire, a pet’ nat’ made with Black Muscat grapes, produced by the Ferme des Arnaud in the Vaucluse department.
