Blue Monday, considered to be the most depressing day of the year, will descend on us like a gray cloud this Monday, January 20, 2025. In Paris, however, the magic persists, as the city offers a multitude of activities to dispel the fog of everyday life! We’ve come up with a few ideas to chase away the blues.
Start the day with a crookie
What could be more comforting than a crookie, the perfect marriage between the crispy flakiness of a croissant and the melting, chocolatey side of a cookie? The perfect way to start the day ! Head to our favorite spot, Maison Louvard, for our other crookie spots in Paris.

Get inspired at the museum
For a change of scene, there’s nothing like a trip to the museum. In Paris, there’s no shortage of choice! Lose yourself in the vast galleries that house artistic treasures, from classic masterpieces to contemporary exhibitions. Art is said to have the power to transcend negative emotions… To fill up on color and wonder, we highly recommend one of the current fashion exhibitions in Paris, such as “Du Coeur Ă la Main: Dolce&Gabbana” at the Grand Palais.

Combine sport and pleasure with the Food Runners Club
How about warding off the Blue Monday gloom by combining effort and comfort? That’s why we recommend you try out the Food Runners Club: put on your sneakers and get ready to run before enjoying pizzas, fries or cookies in a very friendly atmosphere. Several outings are organized throughout the week, as well as on weekends!

Enjoy aromantic dinner in Montmartre
As evening approaches, what better way to round off a revitalizing day than with a romantic dinner in Montmartre. The winding streets and panoramic views of the city create an enchanting atmosphere. Choose one of the picturesque restaurants to sample refined French cuisine while soaking up the bohemian ambience. One of our favorites: La Maison Rose, one of the finest restaurants in the 18th arrondissement, with unrivalled culinary quality and ecological commitment.

End the evening in style at thetheater or cabaret
Paris is the cradle of theater and cabaret, offering a vibrant nightlife. Opt for an evening at the theater for a captivating play, or experience the effervescence of the Parisian cabaret with its sparkling shows. Laughter, emotion and entertainment will brighten up your evening and bring your Blue Monday in Paris to an end in style! We particularly recommend CĂ©sar Palace, which combines gourmet dining with live entertainment.
