This page lists many recommended bars throughout France. The recommendations come from John Woods and Keith Rigley (discovered whilst researching The Beers Of France), from breweries when asked for bars selling their beer that could be included in the book, and from friends. They are arranged alphabetically by Town within Department within Region.

To navigate the list you can click on the area you are interested in on the map and it will take you to that region in the list. If your browser will support the appropriate Javascript you can select a town from the dropdown list or if not you will just have to scan the list. By the very nature of the subject this list cannot be definitive, so if you have any recommendations or comments please see the panel at the bottom of the page.

The entries in magenta need a confirmation of their merits for being included - can you help?
