Activity #1: The Magic of a Silent Cruise on the Seine
Climbing aboard an electric boat means enjoying a smooth ride on the Seine, without noise or pollution. You can discover or rediscover the most beautiful monuments of Paris in a peaceful and pleasant setting. It's a gentler way to see the city from another angle, ideal after a day of walking tours. This activity guarantees beautiful memories of the City of Light.
Activity #2: Strolling Through Paris's Organic Markets
In Paris, organic markets are real gems for both Parisians and visitors. People come to stock up on organic, seasonal fruits and vegetables, but also for the friendly atmosphere. The Raspail market in the 6th arrondissement is one of the most iconic, with its colorful stalls and vegetarian food stands.
A little further north, the Batignolles market in the 17th arrondissement also offers a wide selection of products from organic farming!
Activity #3: Upcycling and DIY Workshops
Paris is full of workshops where you can create while respecting the planet, from making natural cosmetics to customizing decorative objects. La Recyclerie is THE place to be for artists with a green soul. Located in a former station of the Petite Ceinture railway, it offers zero-waste workshops, repair spaces, and even a socially-conscious coffee shop all year round.
For the more creative, the Art & Bulle space in the 17th arrondissement organizes DIY sessions using reclaimed materials—it's the perfect place to let your imagination run wild!
Activity #4: A Walk on the Coulée Verte René-Dumont
A former railway line transformed into a green promenade, the Coulée Verte is an elevated pedestrian path between Bastille and the Bois de Vincennes. You walk above the streets, among trees, climbing plants, and shaded benches. A timeless moment, perfect for a romantic stroll far from the hustle and bustle. And all this, without leaving Paris!
Activity #5: Visiting Paris's Urban Farms
What if we went to meet the farms without leaving Paris? More and more rooftops, wastelands, and parking lots are being transformed into urban agriculture spaces. This is the case for the Porte de Clignancourt farm, where vegetables, aromatic herbs, and even chickens coexist happily. Further south, you will also find La Ferme de Paris in the Bois de Vincennes! These urban farms often organize tours, workshops, and local markets, making them ideal for curious minds of all ages. A beautiful way to reconnect with nature in the capital.
