On November 26, the celebration will be American or it won't! Indeed, as every year, the 4th Thursday of November is the occasion to celebrate Thanksgiving, in the United States, of course, where this holiday originates, but also in other corners of the world where Americans have settled.
Thanksgiving celebrates the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers in the New World, and the sharing of a now-famous feast with Native Americans that was the very first Thanksgiving meal in history. 400 years later, the tradition is still respected, and is even one of America's favorite holidays!
In Paris too, Thanksgiving 2026 will be celebrated on November 26 across the capital’s bars, hotels and restaurants. What if we use this grand public holiday as a chance to rediscover the American heritage visible in Paris, learn a bit about the history and origins of this North American celebration, and discover which American specialties await us at Paris’s American restaurants that evening?
Here are the best tips and the top spots to experience Thanksgiving 2026 the American way—without even leaving Paris!
