Ideas for outings and activities when it’s very hot in Paris!
It’s a heat wave! Whether you are a Parisian or passing through for a few days to visit and enjoy Paris, you don’t want to stay locked up (in a hotel or elsewhere) and we understand you! One objective: to find a little coolness, air-conditioned places, green spaces… Here are some ideas for outings and activities in Paris and the surrounding area with children when the thermometer shows record temperatures.
Good to know: water misters, very refreshing, are installed here and there in Paris (as at Paris Plage); most of the major Parisian museums are air-conditioned (such as the Louvre, the Georges Pompidou Centre, the Musée d’Orsay or the Musée de l’Orangerie). All the exhibitions we recommend are in air-conditioned places.
Air-conditioned places and places, nice with the family…
Freshness guaranteed…
Water, water, water…
