All The Bars In France That Primarily Serve Alcohol

All The Bars In France Which Primarily Serve Alcohol

Map created by reddit user T9C-gars

The map above shows the 3,209 bars which primarily serve alcohol in mainland France. This compares to 34,669 “mixed establishments”, such as restaurants, night clubs, etc. which also sell alcohol across France.

The data comes from Frace’s INSEE or National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies.

A few interesting things pop-out about bars:

  • Bretons (north-west France) clearly like them.
  • Skiers in the Alps also clearly like them.
  • Bars are popular along France’s borders with most other countries, except Spain.
  • Bars can be commonly found along most of the coast of France.

It should also be noted that Paris looks like it has fewer bars than it really does, due to the way they are being displayed.

Want to find the right bar? The following guides may be of some help:

    Insulting people is easy when you know the place and they don’t.
    What about the Alps then? There are even higer mountains and sparsely populated areas as well.

    “Bars are popular along France’s borders with most other countries, except Spain.”
    And of course, it has nothing to do with the mountains, the lack of roads and the wilderness of the area compared to the Alps ? Come on. You should travel to northern Spain to see if there really isn’t any bar down there x)

    Um… There are no bars open in France at the moment. None at all.
