1. We warm up at the pool
In times of extreme cold, there are two types of people: those who wrap themselves in a blanket from 7pm and avoid the outside world until spring arrives, and the others, the brave and a bit strange ones, who take refuge in their favourite swimming pool to forget about the freezing cold outside, in a pool at 35°C. Because we care about your well-being and we are also a bit strange, the editorial team has selected three places that are not afraid of anything.

10. Floating in your own bubble
In this place isolated from any noise and visual pollution, you enter with a goal: to leave feeling relaxed. Welcome to Bulles à Flotter, a sensory isolation center through flotation. A place where time stands still, where calmness, well-being, and serenity reign. A moment of tranquility that takes us out of the hectic rhythm of the city. In enormous bubbles filled with Epsom salt-saturated water, we let ourselves float (similar to the Dead Sea) for an hour and give our brain a break, without stimulation and without any information to analyze. The ultimate experience.

Built under Louis XV in 1761, these immense greenhouses are located in the Bois de Boulogne, and let me tell you straight away: it's the place where no one will bother you. Composed of 5 main greenhouses, the largest of which even has a water feature where you can peacefully sit with a sketchbook or a good book, you can spend the afternoon there without any disturbances.

12. Let's go to a great exhibition!
And if your New Year's resolution was to cultivate yourself a little more?

So without further ado, we choose our gem among the most beautiful exhibitions of January, and we head to the museum.

13. Extending the magic of the holidays
AURA INVALIDES is the new monumental immersive show where music and light enhance the beauty and history of this major monument in the capital. A breathtaking show. If some people thought it was a temporary event, think again: the immersive sound and light show has settled in the monument for several seasons and plans to continue playing for months and years to come. It gives us the opportunity to go back once, twice, or even ten times, because we never tire of the beauty of the place.

14. Let's have a delicious hot chocolate at Crèmes
Because it's not only chocolatiers who make delicious hot chocolates, one of our favorite coffee shops deserved outright its place in this top. With a great chocolaty taste and a milk foam that would make all baristas pale, we approve the signed hot chocolate by Les Crèmes, available in both cow's milk and plant-based milk versions.

15. Detox at the hammam
An essential part of the Parisian spirit, the hammam at the Mosque of Paris seduces its clientele with its authenticity and complete change of scenery that it provides. Thanks to its sumptuous decorations, you really feel like you've landed in the East. As for the prices, it's very reasonable compared to the neighborhood and to the institution that is the Mosque of Paris (€18 for admission, €2 for black soap, €12 for massage and scrub). Once completely relaxed, you can enjoy the delightful courtyard of the Mosque to savor a mint tea and a pistachio pastry. Mmm...
