My twin brother Stephen and I were walking down Boulevard De Clichy and dropping into some of the great pubs and bars along this boulevard ,one that was really good was Le Boucan .
A wonderful looking bar ,the interior is superb ,it's certainly colourful ,light and airy ,a cool looking serving bar ,lovely decor and furnishings and lots of seating options both inside and outside looking out onto the busy and bustling Boulevard De Clichy ,it's only a minutes walk away from the world famous Moulin Rouge ,home of the famous Can Can dance.
We sat inside were we ordered a large ricard each ,served in perfect condition ,we chilled out ,kicked back and planned out the night ahead in this magical and beautiful city.
A big fan of ricard ,for anyone not familiar with ricard it's a pastis,an anise ,basically a licorice flavoured aperitif ,it's about 45% ABV and very tasty indeed ,it's a drink I always look forward to drinking whenever I'm in France or Belgium.
We really enjoyed our ricard's in here before we moved on and for a first time visit to Le Boucan we were totally impressed ,had a wonderful time .
Le Boucan is easy to locate along Boulevard De Clichy ,it's about 50 metres from the Moulin Rouge.
