The summer months are well and truly upon us in the capital, and the mercury is climbing, climbing and climbing in the thermometers - nice for sunbathing, but not a good sign in terms of global warming, we agree. If, as soon as temperatures rise above 25 degrees, you go from solid to liquid, or if you simply don't like being exposed to the sun's rays for too long, then you might be looking for a shady terrace in Paris to spend spring-summer 2024 outdoors, but without burning to a crisp.
If you'd like to bask in a pretty spot of greenery away from the sun, we've unearthed some superb spots in the shade of trees or under parasols, far from the hustle and bustle of the capital's streets and without the risk of sunburn turning you into a little crayfish.
For a bucolic break, why not eat a refreshing ice-cream , sip a savory beverage, have lunch or brunch in the greenery, discover without further delay the terraces where to hide from the sun, this spring-summer 2024 in Paris. Your sun capital will thank us!
