Cooling off with a spicy soft serve

For several weeks now, the plant-based milk brand Oatly has been refreshing all Parisians with ultra indulgent soft serves. And this week, the brand has teamed up with JAJAJA to bring a spicy and sunny touch. The venue has been completely transformed into a Mexican taqueria with a menu that oscillates between the heat of chili peppers and the sweetness of corn. In a cup or in a taco, enjoy an Italian-style ice cream with a Mexican twist, made with corn or chocolate, with original toppings ranging from tortillas to popcorn and a chipotle chili pepper salsa.

We're watching the Olympic opening ceremony on a big screen by the Canal Saint-Martin

This Friday, we're celebrating the start of the Olympic festivities that will take over the capital for the next two weeks with a grand opening ceremony on the Seine, featuring a lineup that's too good to be true: Lady Gaga, Céline Dion, Aya Nakamura, Juliette Armanet... But unless you've saved up a fortune to attend in person, you'll have to watch it on TV. However, that doesn't mean you'll miss out on the fun! Head to Point Ephemere, which has decided last minute to screen the ceremony on a big screen with shady commentary from drag queens
