Each district is a small village. And, because it is a small village, it has its proper people. Whatever people may think about it, some prejudices are true. And the best example is students ; they adapt themselves really easily according to their living places…
However, Paris is a living town, with parties ; a French city where any moment or event is an excuse to go out and drink a cocktail… And, this is the turning point of this post. Could we guess or imagine a cocktail for each district of Paris, so where you are living ?

11 | The drink of the 11th : Spritz
The 11th became the “bobo” district after the hipster invasion during the years 2012-2013… So, it must have the cocktail in fashion and served abusive throughout Paris, without knowing its origin.
