With the sun finally shining, it’s time to get back into the swing of things. A bucolic stroll, a cocktail at a rooftop table or an escapade outside the walls of Paris: a thousand activities are on offer as the mild temperatures settle over the capital. But there’s none we’re more looking forward to than the return of our favorite open-airs! So if you want to dance the afternoon away while soaking up the sunshine, head for one of these enchanting spots!
La Prairie du Canal
La Prairie du Canal, just a few meters from the Canal de l’Ourcq, is a brilliant place in every way. This urban wasteland, managed by the association La Sauge, organizes a wide range of activities for its members in its exotic setting. And when the first light of spring dawns, the little farm turns into a mini-festival!
