Looking to enjoy the beautiful days in the 12th arrondissement? This month, we invite you on an unexpected, ultra-gourmet and chocolate-filled stroll through the streets of Daumesnil. Let's go!
Ground Control
To start, head to the emblematic place in the neighborhood: Ground Control. This former sorting center has been transformed into a hub for culture, solidarity, and above all... a huge food court. If your stomach is growling, make a stop at Solina's pasta counter, where Giovanni makes his pasta by hand and with love, and tops it off with a homemade, well-cooked sauce. On this day, we can't resist the vegetarian carbonara with three cheeses and sautéed mushrooms, as well as the spaghetti amatriciana. A hearty plate of pasta and a lovely welcome, there you have it: a delicious taste of Italy at an affordable price.

La Coulée Verte
To digest, nothing better than a little bucolic walk along the Coulée Verte, this former pedestrianized and greened five-kilometer railway track that goes from Bastille to the bois de Vincennes. Underground and in the air, we take the time to admire the street-art works, the flowers, the neighborhood life and the splendid architecture that line this incredible promenade. A timeless moment and a path that is always very difficult to leave!

Workshop C
Luckily, there's a very delicious workshop available: under the Viaduc des Arts, Atelier C offers a fantastic chocolate experience. Christophe, a master chocolatier and the third generation of his family, travels to sourcing countries to select cocoa bean harvests for making his own chocolate. The passionate chocolatier invites us under the arches for tasting rare chocolates and creating personalized chocolate bars. The best part? We obviously leave with our own little creations. Truly a favorite!
