Because it's not just kids who can have abirthday party... Paris is full of unusual and fun places where adults can try their hand at it, and invite friends to blow out one more birthday candle. And if you're going to combine business with pleasure, you might as well find the best place to celebrate a memorable birthday for all.
Escape games, VR experiences, fun activities, karaoke, darts, axe throwing, blind tests, unusual bars... You're spoilt for choice. And if you're not sure what to do in Paris on your birthday, the Sortiraparis editorial team has put together a selection of activities and outings for you to enjoy.
Please note, however, that although there are special packages for children, not all establishments offer them to you as an adult. But that doesn't mean you can't celebrate your birthday, as long as you organize things properly.
As for the cake, you'll probably have to take it home with you, unless the establishment you're going to offers one, but if not, you can always ask them to keep it for you in the fridge. It's up to them to offer you this solution, at their convenience. So, what's it going to be, folks?
