5 Fun Things to Do in Paris in August: Top Experiences to Book

August is the ideal month to rediscover Paris from a fresh perspective. Whether you are visiting the capital or looking for summer ideas, it’s the perfect opportunity to try out unique experiences. From fun challenges and foodie tours to creative workshops and an exceptional Seine River cruise, here are 5 must-do activities for an unforgettable summer in Paris.

 

The Funniest

Looking for a memorable game session with friends? Head to Quizz Room in the 6th arrondissement, a spot to play immersive quizzes set on a real TV studio set. Test your general knowledge and face off across 6 main themes: sports, daily life, society, star pupil, music, and cinema. It’s guaranteed to spice up your evening, but always keep it fair play!

 

The Tastiest

For two and a half hours, stroll through the most chic and delicious parts of the capital, exploring Paris’s beautiful neighborhoods with the added bonus of tasting iconic French sweets. Montmartre, Hôtel de Ville, or Montorgueil—three fantastic routes to (re)discover with pastries along the way. The perfect combo for a flavorful walk!

 

The Most Creative

Calling all Parisian arty girls! Summer is all about change, and what better way to embrace it than customizing your own phone case? It’s simple: pick your base color, select all the goodies and charms you want, and assemble them! Bonus: you can also decorate accessories beyond your phone case—hair claw clips, bags, pouches, AirPods cases… everything we love!

 

The Most Relaxing

Head over to the 11th arrondissement for an embroidery workshop with Marie, a passionate embroiderer who will teach you the basic stitches during a live demo before letting you stitch at your own pace—all accompanied by a delicious afternoon snack and drink. For 1.5 hours, chat, stitch, unwind, and leave with brand-new techniques at your fingertips. A sweet, cozy, and creative break, perfect for unplugging and treating yourself.

 

The Most Luxurious

Want to see Paris like a star? Skip the crowded boat tours and step aboard a true luxury water limousine for a 1.5-hour private cruise. Glass of champagne and French macarons in hand, glide past the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Alexandre III Bridge, the Grand Palais, and Notre-Dame, with breathtaking views of the capital's finest landmarks. A chic, intimate, and wildly romantic experience, perfect for celebrating a special occasion… or simply treating yourself to the luxury of seeing the City of Light from a whole new angle.
