Unusual Outings in Paris

Want to taste unusual Paris without breaking the bank? Start with outdoor guided tours and accessible shows. The tour of the Secrets of the Louvre Facades (from 14,50 €) and the walk tracing the Freemasons (from 14,50 €) are perfect for decoding the city in 1.5 hours. For sensations, the Aura at Les Invalides show (from 18 €) is a visual feast, while the Living Museum of Cheese Ticket (from 20 €) delights young and old alike. Our advice: choose the Louvre facade if you love history and architecture, Aura if you're looking for visual emotion.

Nothing beats illuminated Paris for a romantic outing. The Grande Dame Dinner at the Eiffel Tower (from 186,80 €) remains the absolute reference with its 5 courses and Champagne, ideal for a special occasion. For a more intimate and stable bubble, the Quay Dinner at Bistro Parisien (from 54,50 €) sets your table facing the monument, without navigation. Movement enthusiasts will prefer the Champagne Tasting Cruise on the Seine (from 79 €) or the Paris By Night Dinner on the Bus Toqué (from 110 €). Choose the Eiffel Tower for prestige, the cruise for the gentle river.

If you like to get hands-on, become an artisan for a day. The Gin Distillation Workshop at l'Arbre Sec (from 110 €) and the Wine Blending Workshop at the Caves du Louvre (from 95 €) let you leave with your own bottle. For platter lovers, the Cheese & Wine Pairing Workshop on Île Saint-Louis (from 95 €) offers 9 cheeses and 5 wines, while the 10 Cheeses & 10 Wines Tasting at the Caves du Louvre (from 109 €) is generous. Prefer the creation workshop for a keepsake, the guided tasting for immediate conviviality.

To unite a group, focus on the collective. The escape game Mazarin and the Guardians of the Secret at the BnF Richelieu (from 18 €) and the treasure hunt The Prisoner of the Bastille (from 16,50 €) focus on cooperation and puzzles. Sports enthusiasts will choose the Behind the Scenes of the Stade de France (from 17 €) or the Behind the Scenes of Roland-Garros (from 19 €), accessible from 7 years old. Our advice: the escape game for adrenaline in a small group, the sports backstage for fans of legendary stadiums.

Birthday, proposal, celebration: some experiences are made for special occasions. The Grande Dame Dinner by Thierry Marx and Maison Lenôtre (from 186,80 €) and the Madame Service Lunch with Champagne (from 100,80 €) reach the top of the Eiffel Tower. On the exceptional oenology side, the Grand Cru Tasting with a glass of the mythical Château d'Yquem (from 169 €) remains a rare pinnacle. For a prestigious night, the Paris By Night Dinner and its 2-hour circuit (from 110 €) perfectly closes the selection.
