The sun is finally shining, the terraces are filling up, the atmosphere is mellow… Summer has finally arrived in Paris! To celebrate the summer season, UNIQLO has decided to breathe a vacation fragrance into the heart of Paris. From July 27 to August 11, the famous Japanese brand is organizing a festival of free* events in 3 of its Paris stores: UNIQLO Opéra, Le Marais and Rivoli every day from 2pm.
Creative and gourmet events, 100% fun, that will give you the impression of traveling without even leaving the capital. We tell you all about the extraordinary program awaiting you at UNIQLO. Follow us!
Take your taste buds on a journey..
Sushi, ramen, gyozas or bentos: when it comes to gastronomy, the Japanese have a lot to offer. If you’re an aficionado of Japanese cuisine, UNIQLO’s tastings are sure to arouse your curiosity (and your appetite). Have you ever heard of tasty Japanese rice dumplings? (Re)discover them with Dango in the form of traditional kebabs. We also spotted onigiri tastings at Omusubi Gonbei, renowned for these exquisite morsels. Our mouths are watering!
More of a sweet tooth? You won’t know which way to turn between Aki Boulangerie’s & dorayaki mochi and Pontochoux Café’s Franco-Japanese pastries. You may also be surprised by PonPon Café’s famous “donut mochis”. To quench your thirst, don’t miss a tasting of Ramune Japanese lemonades or Xing Fu Tang’s famous Taiwanese bubble tea.
To make the journey even longer, UNIQLO we’ll even be offering tastings of Vietnamese specialties from Hanoi 198, a culinary journey to the Mediterranean with Dalia’s oriental cakes, and Brazilian delights from Onda Street Food. A culinary world tour!
… and unleash your creativity with the UNIQLO Festival
If, like us, you’re as creative as you are gourmand, you’ll love UNIQLO’s UTme! collections, unique collaborations with local artists for exclusive designs. Available until September, current collaborations with artists Kanako and Miwa Goto and with Moulin Rouge await you in UNIQLO Opéra and Le Marais boutiques. You’ll be able to discover the RE.UNIQLO studios, the third of which has just opened in the Marais district after a first one at UNIQLO Rivoli followed by another in the Opéra flagship. A great opportunity to rethink fashion in a creative and sustainable way.
From now until August 11, the UNIQLO festival also offers other activities such as workshops for calligraphy of your first name in Japanese, and a stand featuring ephemeral tattoos with sublime Japanese motifs. In short, a full program that’s as fun as it is enticing: the hardest part will be choosing from among all the activities on offer UNIQLO ! And UNIQLO even provides buses to accompany you on your shopping trip! You have until August 11 to take advantage: mark your calendars!
