Mother’s Day for Grandmother is this Sunday, March 1st, 2026. Because any excuse is good to spend quality time with grandma, Sortir à Paris offers some ideas for celebrating this special day together — a perfect occasion for grandmothers and their grandchildren to connect.

Grannies have a special place in our hearts and lives, and we never miss an opportunity to remind them of our love! That's why we're taking advantage of to spend some quality time with them. Whether you're a cake granny or a rock granny, a sports granny or a gardener granny: in Paris and the Paris region, there's always something to do with the family.

It's decided, we're all going out together for Grandma's Day! Invented in 1987 by the French brand"Café Grand'Mère", this celebration of commercial origin has rapidly become part of our customs and habits. It's an opportunity for everyone to say thank you to those incredible, dynamic and loving grandmothers who go out, travel and often look after their grandchildren.

For Sunday, March 1, 2026, the Sortiraparis team has some fun activity and outing ideas to help you enjoy quality time and, most importantly, celebrate our beloved grandmothers in style!

Fun things to do with Grandma:
