Let's treat ourselves to a revitalizing massage to escape the rain!

Tui Na is the name of a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage that is based on the theory of energy flow. Don’t worry, it’s super simple: our vital energy flows through our bodies via specific channels known as meridians. The massage therapists are here to stimulate our vital points so that we can let the energy flow. Believe it or not, sometimes it’s more effective than a trip to the doctor (and way more pleasant!). No more stomach aches, headaches, or back pain... and say goodbye to the blues! So, let’s take a day off work for a “medical appointment” and enjoy a pure moment of relaxation.

Maison du Tui Na
28, rue de Turbigo – 3rd
14, rue Duvivier – 7th

We’re listening to jazz at the POPUP du Label

What could be better than a jazzy evening on a dull night? Good thing it’s jazz night every Tuesday at the POPUP du Label! Each week, three new artists come to perform and treat us to some quality jam sessions, and this time we have Fabien Mary on trumpet, Guillaume Naud on organ, and Stéphane Chandelier on drums. Entry is free, and the bar-restaurant has everything you need for a wonderful evening. It's the perfect way to ease into the week, and especially with music, maestro!

Finding comfort in the dishes at Aux Crus de Bourgogne 

Take a journey back in time to Old Paris with this bistro from another century. A long-standing institution in Montorgueil taken over by siblings Félix and Margot Durant (Aux Bons Crus, Relais Routiers...), Aux Crus de Bourgogne reveals its retro-chic decor as well as a delicious traditional French cuisine. The menu evolves with the seasons, but always holds space for the classics, from pâté en croûte to large Burgundy snails, perfectly cooked beef cuts... and of course – it’s what we’re all about!and today, with this dreary weather – cozy dishes like the timeless beef bourguignon and chicken with yellow wine and morels.
