Le Marchand de Sable – Famous historic bar

Do you know the “marchand de vin” (wine merchant) drink? This is a mix of beer – white wine and lemon syrup. Sweet but strong! Le Marchand de Sable has made the marchand de vin its own specialty. It used to be crowded with loud high school students. But the place has changed twice in the last 2 years. The place is now brighter and more colorful.

I do not go often to this bar, nevertheless it has to be known as it is a legend in Carouge! If you do not like it, you’ll find plenty other typical bars on the same street as La plage, le Chat Noir, La Forge…

The type of costumers changes depending of the time you go. I found the staff really nice and welcoming.

You can also eat in this bar: meat, tart or empanadas.
