Finally! It's soon time for the return of sweet sunny afternoons and terrace drinks. And since good news never comes alone, here are 5 new places that are opening their doors this spring and that we are really excited to try!

1. A temporary cabin on the edge of the Ourcq Canal

After wintering for months, the Jardin 21 unveils a confidential and ephemeral cabin, giving us a taste of the upcoming beautiful season. Located on the banks of the Ourcq Canal, this cultural wasteland welcomes you to its Cabin from April 7th to 30th, offering plenty of activities to enjoy the Easter holidays. Workshops, markets, sports classes, guided meditation, and even a nail bar - there are animations that will please the whole family! Not to mention DJ sets for the night owls among you. For the little ones, an Easter egg hunt will be organized on Sunday, April 9th. The community space will also be open all day for you to share a meal or a drink outdoors on long tables. A great opportunity to taste a meal under the sun.

Balanced and gourmet cuisine, and have a friendly time with family or friends.

Created by Plateau Urbain and Yes We Camp, the space will welcome you to enjoy an aperitif, have lunch at the bar-canteen, or shop responsibly and affordably at the Emmaus boutique. The space will also be dedicated to culture with exhibitions, conferences, and performances.
