A summer in Paris

It was cold, it was gray… and then all of a sudden, as if by magic, summer arrived!
The city is shining and the terraces are full of sun-kissed Parisians.
It’s time for long evenings, picnics and shady siestas.
We’ve come up with our 5 must-visit addresses to make the most of our favorite season.

Going green in the Bois de Boulogne

The Bois de Boulogne, to the west of Paris, is the perfect spot to get back to nature without leaving the capital.

You can take a boat trip along the banks of the lake, or simply chill out at the Chalet des îles, an identical recreation of a Swiss chalet that Napoleon III’s wife fell in love with in the 1850s.

Take a nap under the willow tree on the Île de la Cité

Fancy a nap after a lovely stroll around Paris?

Head for the willow tree on the Ile de la Cité! The lapping of the Seine will lull you to sleep as you softly crack an eye over one of the prettiest views of Paris.

Take a dip at the Molitor

Temperatures rising? Splash out! Come and cool off in the superb Molitor swimming pool, a masterpiece of Art Deco architecture. Completely renovated a few years ago, it’s also a paradise for Parisians who flock to its rooftop at happy hour.

And there you are, wet hair, cocktail in hand, with a breathtaking view of Paris.
