As true Parisians, whether by birth or adoption, we love to relax and explore every corner of our beautiful city. But after constantly going between the Marais, Villette, and Bastille, we start to crave something new. That's why the Bonbon is always on the lookout for something exciting, and we've put together a great list of unique activities to discover in the capital, to add a little "extra" to your ordinary weeks!
What is Wine Gaming? Yes, you heard right: wine gaming. The concept is simple. The owners of a cool bar called Les Petits Crus thought to themselves, "how can we make wine tasting classes less boring and pretentious?" By taking inspiration from escape games, of course (which we just talked about, how convenient)!
Check out this video to see what it's all about: [embedding a Facebook video].
In short, it's a super cool game where you have to solve puzzles in a cellar that immerses you in a mysterious atmosphere, to access the Holy Grail: a bottle of wine, which you can bring back home. And all of this while enjoying wines (of course), which actually help you progress in your investigation!
Whether it's to fulfill a childhood dream or to confront our fears, flying a plane is a unique and thrilling experience. We agree, we might never experience it in real life.

We're familiar with massage sessions. With our busy lives, it's important to find sources of endorphins to relieve stress... But have you heard of bling-massage? At Spa dans le Noir, all massages are performed by visually impaired therapists in complete darkness.

Do you think you have an artistic soul, but more of a rebellious kind? Come paint the walls with experienced artists (and others who are just starting out).

The workshops are held on the first Sunday of every month.

Did you know that the world's largest balloon is in Paris? Yes, indeed! So it would be a shame not to enjoy the view from 150 meters high. We've all checked it out to see the pollution level (green means picnic in Monceau, red means weekend in Deauville), so why not get closer to those colors, and the stars at the same time? Because all summer long, the Paris balloon offers nighttime ascensions. Just so you know: on board a hot air balloon, you don't feel dizzy as long as you look outside the basket, it's magical!

On these beautiful (or not) words, we leave you with practical information.
