With the heatwave looming over the coming week - and most likely throughout the summer - Parisians and tourists alike are going to have to learn to live on Mediterranean time, and go out only at the "coolest" times of the day. Like the Italians and Spaniards, they'll be dining, strolling and enjoying themselves in the evening!
And what better way to refresh yourself than with a cool gelato or sorbet? Just the thing: in Paris, it's not impossible to enjoy a late-night gelato! In fact, many of the capital's ice cream parlors open late into the evening, especially on Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer. 9 p.m., 10 p.m., even midnight for some... thecall of the ice doesn't wait!
Now all that's left is the most complicated part: which flavour do you fancy this evening? Chocolate, cherry, pistachio, or even more original flavors, like herbal ice cream or buffalo milk? The hardest part will be choosing. For a list of good late-night ice-cream parlors in Paris, click here!
