Let's treat ourselves to a delicious break at Grave
No matter how gray it is outside, in summer, you simply can't say no to ice cream. And when it comes to finding the best frozen treat in the city, there's really only one place that does the trick: Grave, the trendiest coffee shop on Rue des Gravilliers, known for serving up soft serves that are absolutely out of this world every summer. This year, they're hitting it out of the park again with their unique charcoal-infused Italian gelato, which you can happily pair with all kinds of delightful goodies displayed on their counter, including fresh cookies, homemade cakes, and their iconic whoopie pie.

We're loading up on vitamins with the ultra-healthy brunch!
de JudyWhat do you get when a restaurant's menu is entirely designed by a naturopath? To find out, head over to Judy, a lovely eatery with four locations in Paris (1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th), where organic and local ingredients take the spotlight, and gluten is left behind. Here, we embrace the quality lifestyle philosophy – being mindful of our consumption with products that are good for our bodies and the planet – by trying a variety of healthy, colorful, and tasty recipes. The perfect menu? An Elevate juice (carrot, apple, lemon, ginger, turmeric), followed by a Persian stuffed eggplant with quinoa, candied lemon, and served with grilled halloumi, finishing off with a competition-worthy banana bread topped with almond butter, strawberries, and pumpkin seeds. It’s worth trying in the morning or at lunchtime, to burst with energy and take on your day without a hitch.

We're soaking up the sun in gothic style with the new beach club Wednesday!
This year, Paris Plages really wants to dazzle us. After taking us on a journey to Brazil, the urban beach is whisking us off to a completely different universe this August, with a little less sun and caipirinhas. The reason? From August 1st to 31st, it’s changing its look and donning its darkest attire to pay tribute to one of the most iconic characters in pop culture: Wednesday Addams. The little girl in black with her legendary braids will make her appearance in celebration of the release of season 2 of Wednesday.
on Netflix, and takes over the Parisian summer with a beach volleyball court, solo ping-pong, deck chairs – for those not into the macabre tan – but also cello concerts, guided meditation, acupressure sessions…See this post on Instagram
