Let’s jump into the canal one last time!

Last chance to lay your towel by the water without leaving the capital. Until August 31, 2025, loungers, swimming, and free activities are bringing the fun. Bonus: a Brazilian flair with concerts, dancing, and a food market.

Let’s enjoy some Lebanese food on a peaceful terrace 

There are terraces like this, tucked away just enough to escape the hustle and bustle of Paris, yet still noticeable enough to catch attention. Behind this charming spot is Hugo, 31 years old, radiating contagious good vibes and a mini-celebrity in the kitchen. With over 150K followers on Instagram, he’s made the web drool by putting a twist on classic Lebanese dishes with a diaspora flair. With an Italian mom and a Lebanese dad, he grew up surrounded by preserved lemon zest and perfectly cooked risottos. His restaurant is a reflection of him: blended and vibrant.

We're having a fashion exhibition 

It seems unbelievable that no French cultural institution has dedicated its spaces to a special retrospective of Rick Owens until 2025. Too transgressive, not delicate enough, the designer had to make do with his 17 outlets scattered across France to showcase his works. Today, the winds have changed, and the Museum of Fashion is giving him the artistic direction of its new major exhibition. The artist, presenting silhouettes, personal archives, and unique installations, candidly shares his personal and professional journey, from his early struggles to his international acclaim.
