Yes, we know, it’s ugly. Rain is nice, but only when you’re under the comforter. So when you’ve got no choice, here are the best things to do when it rains in Paris. I promise, you’ll finally love the rain! (Well, maybe not, but we tried).
Drinking hot chocolate – A comforting activity when it’s raining in Paris
Frankly, drinking hot chocolate while it’s raining already sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? You’re in luck, Paris is full of good places to drink exquisite hot chocolate. Creamy, original, classic… Simply delicious.
Go to the Grand Rex to see a great film
The Grand Rex is a legendary venue where we love spending time and seeing great films. This month, you can enjoy the best films of the moment: Dune II, Kung fu Panda 4, etc… All you have to do is make your choice!

Strolling through Paris’ most beautiful covered passages – A romantic activity we love to do when it’s raining
If you don’t have time to stop by when it’s raining, these are the places to go. We go there to buy deco, drink a good coffee, go shopping…Among the most beautiful Parisian covered passages, there’s obviously the Galerie Vivienne, the Passage Choiseul or even the Passage du Grand Cerf in the 2ᵉ. A feast for the eyes!
A free exhibition when it rains
What better way to avoid the downpour than to take refuge in an exhibition? We recommend the latest free exhibitions , such as Martine’s 70th birthday party or photo exhibitions…
A good brunch – The ultimate remedy when it rains in Paris
When appetite goes, everything goes! And believe us, there’s no shortage of good brunches in Paris. L’hôtel 1k and its all-you-can-eat brunch, Chez Fuero and its delicious Spanish brunch, Le buffet des merveilles and its magical brunch… There’s plenty to choose from!
A little Beer Spa – For a moment of pure relaxation
When it rains, you can say goodbye to pretty terraces. But we don’t say no to a good time pampering ourselves. For a moment of pure relaxation, alone or with a partner, we recommend you try Paris’s first beer spa. Firstly, because it’s great fun: you get to enjoy the benefits of hops for the skin. And because it’s so convivial, you can choose to drink a small beer while enjoying the bubbles of your bath. In short, we love it!
Galerie le Sevrien, 101 Rue de Sèvres, 75006 France
A horror escape game – A fun way to get scared!
And what if, while it’s raining, we had some fun scaring each other? If you’re going to avoid the rain, you might as well spend a good hour in an escape game! We’ve tested the best horror escapes in Paris for you. Our favorite? The slaughterhouse, where in less than an hour you must… escape from a serial killer. An incredibly immersive atmosphere to experience with your best buddies.

Playing video games at La Tête dans les Nuages
If you haven’t already heard of La Tête dans les Nuages, it’s literally the place to be when it’s raining cats and dogs outside. In this huge 1,500 m² facility, which looks like a permanent funfair, you can play retro arcade games, go bowling, VR… Clearly, you won’t see the time fly by here!
