Last Tuesday evening we attended a 52 Martinis meetup. Organized by Forest Collins, it was held at Club Rayé, a chic bar in the Montorgueil district of Paris.

The party was held in the bar’s Kafka room, accessible down a stairway and through a narrow tunnel painted with vertical stripes of black and white. “Rayé” is French for “striped,” and the design of the entire bar reflects this theme.
