Very interesting place to have a drink, set in a charming ancient cellar with a Roman-era well and located by the covered market (Marché Provençal). Named after the mysterious green liqueur so much associated with 19th century artists and writers such as Van Gogh and Baudelaire, that was outlawed for decades because of the health risks associated with its abuse, namely insanity and death. However these side effects seem to have been due to ‘quality control’ issues and the herbs that go into absinthe are in fact, good for you. Absinthe was only re-introduced legally again in about 2003 and there are very few places where it is possible to drink it. If there is a group of you, the host will normally give each member of the group a slightly different absinthe so that you can try the different varieties. Full of charm even without the lure of absinthe. Choice of Absinthe and other drinks, musical ambience. Closed Sun, Mon night. Nice shop upstairs.
