Spring French cocktails that will steal your heart
Spring has come to Paris, bringing the spirit of rejuvenation and change. Lockdown made it hard to enjoy sunny days, but we’re not giving up on getting seasonal vibes. Twitter and Instagram are already flooded with people presenting their ideal home-made focaccias and sourdoughs. But if you are more into breaking bad than baking bread, we have a better idea.

Here are our top three choices for the best boat bars on the Seine (in the Port des Invalides/Quai d’Orsay area) that you must check out this summer before they float away from the 7th arrondissement and your rosé préférée is gone to be replaced by mulled wine. 1) Rosa Bonheur Sur Seine: an offshoot founded by the team behind the Rosa Bonheur situated in the Parc Buttes-Chaumont, this immensely popular floating barge bar is packed to the brims with people. While it seems like the sides of the boat are bursting with action, it’s actually the dancefloor inside that has all the main attractions. With an eclectic lineup of music going from hip hop to blaring wedding music in one swoop (don’t be…
The Real Parisian Summer: Canals
You know that Paris is famous for the river Seine and grabbing a scoop of Berthillion ice cream nearby…but do you know the canals of Paris as frequented by Parisians?
Thirsty Thursday – Paname Brewing Company
Ah, the northeastern side of Paris. Whenever we hear snickers about our life as expatriates missing out if we happen to live in certain arrondissements that are not there, certain images of the city’s other side come to mind.
