5 great things to do in Paris for Pink October 2025!

October 2025 has arrived, bringing with it Pink October, a month dedicated to raising awareness and fighting against breast cancer. Since 1994, this American initiative has taken root in France through a multitude of events and mobilizations. The goal? To raise funds for research, but most importantly to inform both women and men, and to make them aware of the necessity to go get screened. Just a reminder, one in eight women is likely to develop breast cancer, making it the deadliest disease among women, with 12,000 deaths each year. If detected early, this cancer can be cured in nine out of ten cases, which highlights the importance of not neglecting regular check-ups. As with every year, the initiatives taken for Pink October are numerous.You’re in Paris! Here are 5 events to enjoy that are just as much about doing good as they are about treating yourself.  

Experience a delicious plant-based menu specially crafted at the Grand Café Fauchon 

For Pink October, Grand Café Fauchon has teamed up with Chef Baptiste Limouzin. Together, they've created a plant-based menu along with the Madame Fauchon mocktail. This is a true sensory journey, showcasing the dishes as a celebration of the colors, textures, and flavors of plants. Enjoy sweet potato tataki, celery root origami with a quince infused with Fauchon’s five berry blend, or melting pear complemented by rose petal confit... Your taste buds are in for a real delight! Available from October 1st to 31st, 2025, these creations will be offered at €62 for the menu and €18 for the mocktail. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Paris Committee of the Ligue against Cancer.

Enjoy a pink twist on tea time at the Hôtel Molitor

This October, Hôtel Molitor is dressed in pink. While the iconic pool will take on this sweet candy hue once night falls, the Jardin d’Hiver restaurant will also embrace the pink theme. Their traditional tea time has been specially reimagined to include the delightful dessert “Pink Emotion” — a soft hazelnut biscuit, white chocolate ganache with almond, and raspberry confit — alongside the cocktail “Raspberry Blossom” — vodka, blackberry liqueur, raspberry puree, lemon juice, hazelnut syrup, and egg white. Just thinking about it makes our mouths water! 2 euros will be donated to the Gustave Roussy Institute.
