Coming back from summer vacation isn't easy for anyone. Gone are the vast sandy beaches, the lush green mountains with their winding streams to dip your feet in, the dips in the pool and the aperitifs that drag on and on as the cicadas fade away.
Back to the totemic trio of metro, work and sleep, with the added bonus of a little seasonal depression that's likely to make a comeback in the coming weeks, given the weather forecast and the mercury about to drop in the thermometers. So, to help you extend your summer once you're back in Paris (apart from praying to all the weather saints that the Indian summer will be as beautiful as Joe Dassin's song), we've got a solution for you. How about going on vacation again ... without leaving Paris?
From Greece to Japan, via Italy, Lebanon, Africa, Colombia and Korea (and even Corsica and Brittany for those who don't want to go too far afield), we've selected 10 restaurants that, as well as being delicious, are perfect for prolonging summer (and avoiding getting too depressed) in Paris.
Whether it's the specialities they offer, the exotic decor, the large terrace or thewarm atmosphere, there's no doubt that you'll love the feeling of being on vacation again at one of these fine restaurants. Here are the best addresses!
