We’re taking a dip in the Canal Saint-Martin!
The official swimming areas in Paris weren't supposed to open until July 4th. But with the intense heat wave, the mayor of the city, Emmanuel Grégoire, has decided to open things up a bit earlier, at least for the Canal Saint-Martin. Because who can stop the determined Parisians from doing what they want? So, why not provide them with a safe place to enjoy it, considering the risks that come with jumping into this super popular spot as soon as the sunny days return? But be careful: swimming is only allowed in a section of the canal, not its entirety, and it’s free from 4 PM to 8 PM!

Discover the work of Lucille Clerc at the Slow Galerie République
In her new solo exhibition at the Slow Galerie République, illustrator Lucille Clerc immerses us in a familiar yet invisible natural phenomenon: the smell of the earth after rain. With a series of never-before-seen works, the artist takes us on a journey through landscapes touched by showers and pools of water, creating a sensory experience that connects nature, memory, and the sensations we often overlook.

We are loving the Afro street food from DKR
After two successful locations celebrating mama's recipes, the Djukine brothers, founders of BMK, have set up shop in Bastille with DKR, the latest Parisian food concept inspired by Dakar. What's on the menu? A panafrican cuisine that impresses, rooted in its time and true to the flavors of West Africa and the influences of the Caribbean. This is another wonderful showcase of African and Afro-descendant culinary cultures by the teams at BMK, with a contemporary and urban approach that aligns with the revival of Afro cuisines in Paris. Fried plantains, spicy wings, signature mafé, or street food-style yassa... L’s penchant for these delectable dishes is sure to delight!
