Guinguette

The guinguette (French pronunciation: [ɡɛ̃ɡɛt] ⓘ), originating in the 17th century, was a type of popular tavern in the suburbs of Paris and of other cities in France.

[citation needed] During the 18th century, a consumer revolution led once isolated villages and hamlets outside Paris to be swept up in a booming material culture.

Commodities, and particularly alcohol, consumed outside the customs barrier of the city were considerably cheaper, being exempt from state taxes.

This ban was justified for reasons of hygiene (water quality deteriorated in the 1960s and 1970s) and safety (the risk due to barge traffic and drowning).

Combining the spirit of the Camargue region in southern France, there are currently four distinct locations, beginning with the original in the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, followed by Rosa-sur-Seine at the Port of Invalides, Rosa à l'ouest in Asnières-sur-Seine, and Rose à l'Est at the Chalet de la Porte Jaune in the Park Bois de Vincennes.
