We didn't see it coming, but July is here! While some are already escaping the capital (probably in search of better weather), others are keeping busy with exhibitions, concerts, outdoor dining, shopping, culinary discoveries...

Enjoy Mama Sacko's delicious tieb' at Ventrus

Mory Sacko is back with a new temporary gourmet address, and this time, the chef decides to pay tribute to his first muse: his mother. By his side in the kitchen for two days, he delves into his childhood memories and shares his family and culinary history with a menu with Senegalese-Malian influences. Here, like in the maquis - these street restaurants in West Africa - you can find dishes expertly cooked over a flame and delicious recipes created by Mama Sacko, from fish tieboudiene to Sogo. All paired with sparkling mocktails created by the chef mixologist Mathias Giroud, which echo traditional African beverages.

Discover the new immersive experience at Lido 2 Paris

Lido 2 Paris opens its doors to us for a completely unusual event. This time, no dancing or striptease, but rather... climate change. To the sound of Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," in an immersive setting, the cabaret offers us a unique reflection on nature and the drastic changes in temperature that it undergoes. A unique multisensory experience that amazes us as much as the famous shows of the venue... A touch of ecological urgency added!
