Paris is full of sumptuous and quiet places such as “Le Jardin du Luxembourg”.

A haven of peace, which will delight parents and kids, especially in the mid-August.

25 hectares of greenery, history, which host the French Senat, a carousel, tennis courts, fountains…

You can go back in childhood  playing on basins with little sailing boats rented by the Nautic club « Luco ».

You will enjoy  lounging on the typical “Fermob” chair,  going  for a walk between the flower grounds, the trees and the statues. This garden is the place for lovers, senior playing chess or petanque, children running… A place full of Life. 

Paris can thank the queen “Marie de Médicis” who, in her time, fought for the creation and protection of this little corner of paradise. A wonderful fountain is raised in her honor. This beautiful place was not only delighting anonymous people, but also famous ones such as the writer Guy de Maupassant or the singer Joe Dassin. 

“It was like a forgotten garden from the other century, a garden as pretty as a sweet old lady’s smile.

Dense vegetal fences were separating  quiet and narrow paths, located between two vertical green gardens slightly cut. From place to place you could encounter flower grounds, little threes, wonderful  rose bush…” Guy de Maupassant.

There is nothing like a guilty pleasure, a 100% summer delicacy to conclude a good day of Parisian stroll. What is the point of strolling around in the heat of the Haussmannian boulevards if we cannot enjoy a frozen sweetness to delight our dry taste-buds? We tear down to the very animated rue du Four, number 1. The delicious spot Ben & Jerry’s, the finest American ice-cream maker, is located at this address.

From now on, your unique concern will be to chose among the crazy flavours created for your for your greater delight… allow me to give you some advice on this matter. Yes. We are crazy about the Cookie Dough, with its vanilla cream collides with chunks of chocolate chip cookie dough… to die for! We do like the Chocolate Macadamia which swirls chocolate ice cream with vanilla and macadamia nuts that crunch. And then, for the strongest, we highly recommend the Fairly nuts, caramel and praline almond cluster.

The cream of the crop of ice creams. But our favorite, for this end of July, is the exclusive sorbet Mango Berry Swirl that mixes mango and mixed berries in a fresh and colored spiral. A pleasure,  to consume with temperance so that you can enjoy all the Parisian fare!
