Cravan

Nestled in the heart of Saint‑Germain‑des‑Prés, Cravan is a striking ode to Parisian literary legacy and modern cocktail culture. Housed in a 17th‑century building, its design, by Ramy Fischler, is a Dadaist collage—an evocative blend of Belle Époque roots, surreal vision, and contemporary elegance. Spanning four levels, Cravan unfolds as a multi‑dimensional experience: Ground floor: An art nouveau‑inspired bar pays tribute to its origins in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, complete with Thonet furniture and quilted banquettes. First floor: A theatrical “drugstore” atmosphere appears, with bold two‑tone marble bars, mirrored slats, and lively banquette seating. Second floor: A serene, book‑filled Rizzoli NY library creates the perfect haven for sipping cocktails and reading in candle‑lit comfort. Third floor & rooftop: Intimate frescoed salons around fireplaces await, while a tucked‑away door leads to a secret cinema kiosk on the roof—a cinematic hideaway open by invitation only. Cravan embraces duality—its name inspired by Arthur Cravan, the provocative poet-boxer linked to Dada and surrealism, reflecting a spirit of cultured rebellion. A collaboration between Moët Hennessy and founder Franck Audoux, Cravan is not only a bar but a cultural destination, with expert cocktail artisans crafting uniquely balanced drinks using storied spirits from distillers and blenders. For those interested in taking the Cravan experience home, the bar offers an exclusive selection of bottled cocktails—specially crafted, balanced, and ready to serve—with distillery collaborations to ensure quality and authenticity. The vibe is elegant, cultured, and inviting—perfect for daytime coffee and conversation or nocturnal indulgence in refined cocktails. Sample the ‘Tunnel’—a Negroni-spinoff—or the iconic French 75 amid historical charm and literary whispers.
