The guinguette (French pronunciation: [ɡɛ̃ɡɛt] ), originating in the 17th century, was a type of popular tavern in the suburbs of Paris and of other cities in France.[1] The term comes from guinguet, a type of cheap green wine served there.[1] A goguette was a similar kind of establishment.[citation needed]

Il vient apparemment de ce qu'on ne vend dans ces cabarets que de méchant petit vin verd , que l'on appelle ginguet , tel qu'est celui qui se recueille aux ênvirons de Paris. Voyez ginguet. * [Small tavern in the suburbs & surroundings of Paris, where the craftsmen go to drink in Summer, on Sundays & Festivals. This term is new. It apparently comes from the fact that in these taverns they only sell nasty little green wine, which they call "ginguet", such as is harvested in the outskirts of Paris. See 'ginguet'.]
