Kalany Mya, the relaxing tea time at Passage du Grand Cerf

For a moment of relaxation in our hectic lives, enter Kalany Mya, in the famous Passage du Grand Cerf, where you'll be greeted by soothing birdsong instead of the usual background music. The promise of a pleasant moment for our senses, and especially our taste buds, which will appreciate the home-made sweets for a cosytea time. This colorful little urban oasis offers a little relaxation and escape, right in the heart of Paris, around Bien Manger and Bien Etre.

The in-house pastries claim to be healthy, generous and cheerful, and there's no arguing with that. Between the incredibly moist chestnut fondant and the Italian sweets, there's no doubt that you're in for a treat! The amaretti and noccioletti are as crunchy as you could wish for, with their organic almonds and hazelnuts. The delicacies on the menu change regularly, so you can discover new flavors every week! As for drinks, you can try the most cocoa-flavored hot chocolate in the whole district, a real delight! A variety of teas are available, including black, green and white, as well as Japanese teas with spicy infusions. We opted for a Rebah, a very mild green tea with lemongrass, ginger and lemon peel.

The place also offers a small delicatessen corner, with emerging brands and carefully selected artisanal products for sale. Chocolates, granolas and quality candles make perfect gifts for lovers of savoir-faire.

Kalany Mya regularly hosts workshops led by therapists, to discover new approaches and natural techniques, in keeping with the image of the place. The program includes sophrology, flower elixir discovery, hypnotherapy, feminine circles, sensory and energetic massages, and weekend"butterfly minute" workshops for self-care. But there's also time to indulge your creativity, with knitting café evenings for all levels and jewelry design, combined with an introduction to Qi Gong! Don't forget to book in advance on 01 42 21 46 02.

In this space dedicated to well-being, you'll also have access to high-tech yet accessible experiences, as well as relaxation programs devised by sophrologists. Two cutting-edge technologies are on offer: light therapy and immersive virtual reality travel.

Need a 20-minute nap or to relieve stress? Light therapy combines music and light stimulation to help you unwind after a busy day! If you prefer to travel outside Paris, to the mountains or the seaside, enjoy a moment out of time thanks to virtual reality (you can even hear the snow crunch under your feet!).
