The Wine Shops (Dibits de Vins), which are very numerous, are
frequented almost exclusively by the lower classes. The wine is usually
drunk at the counter ('zinc'). Outside some of these shops (e.g. Rue
St. Honore 33, at the corner of the Rue des Bourdonnais, p. 62) finely-
worked iron grilles may be noticed, dating mostly from not later than the
18th century, to which riders used to attach their horses. — The Bars
are somewhat in the English style.
Automatic Bak: Express Bar, Boul. des Italiens 15 and Boul. St.
Denis 26.
