Like a summer hit, sunny days in Paris grow great places quickly taken over by Parisians and tourists. But over the years, each summer, a neighborhood in Paris becomes the season’s hot spot. This time, it is likely that the epicenter of festivities is set by the Bois de Vincennes.
To attract crowds from all over Paris, three iconic terraces are coming to the Bois de Vincennes, each with a very uncommon concept. First, there is La Bamba – former Jardin Suspendu – coming to the Parc Floral again. By the Porte Dorée, it is the guinguette-like terrace of the famous Rosa Bonheur that comes in! Last but not least, Le Chalet du Lac – iconic location in the Bois de Vincennes – creates a surprise and comes with a giant beach.
The Jardin Suspendu becomes La Bamba: a huge festive and gourmet terrace at Paris Parc Floral
A new chapter begins for the Jardin Suspendu. Still managed by Passage Enchanté - renamed Enchanté - the huge bucolic and temporary rerrace set at the Parc Floral enjoys a new name and becomes La Bamba. Meet all summer long in Eastern Paris to make the most of this new festive and convivial place likely to improve this new and highly expected summer season. [Read more]
Beyond these three festive addresses, the Bois de Vincennes is also a spot making everyone agree. For great moments with your friends, a romantic break with your loved one, or a family outing, you will find something to do. You can discover the Parc Floral, enjoy a bicycle ride among peacocks and the youngest ones can enjoy the fantastic playground. The Ferme de Paris is also a spot you do not want to miss to meet animals.
On the Lac Daumesnil, or by the Lac des Minimes, rent a boat for a charming boat ride. Do not forget to pop in the Palais de l’Immigration where stands the Aquarium Tropical, or by the Château de Vincennes.
