Strolling through city streets on foot or by bike

What better way to discover or rediscover a city than by visiting its streets and hidden corners? Whether on foot or by bike, one of the best things to do during your city vacation is to wander leisurely.

Going to an exhibition during your city vacation

Spending your vacation in the city can be synonymous with culture. Why not look into current exhibitions? Drawings, paintings, photos, sculptures—there is something for everyone! Both young and old can enjoy this moment of contemplation. Going to an exhibition is a great way to introduce children to art. Large cities are always full of these types of activities, but smaller towns can surprise you too.

Having a picnic in a park or near a city lake

Even in the city, it is possible to find a bit of greenery or a little patch of nature. These places are often very refreshing and perfect for an impromptu picnic. Many cities in France have a lake, a river, or even a major waterway. You can also discover lovely parks with playgrounds for children and activities for family fun.

Enjoying your city vacation by going to the movies

One of the best activities to do in the city when autumn arrives is to go to the cinema. Whether you are a fan of romantic movies, dramas, or even horror films, you will definitely find a feature film that appeals to you. A bucket of popcorn, a good movie, and the people you love—isn't that the definition of happiness, after all?

Having lunch at an unconventional restaurant in the city

Gastronomy is an integral part of discovering a city. We are incredibly lucky in France to have restaurants serving delicious dishes wherever we go. French cuisine is renowned, and now is the time to enjoy it! Restaurants, bars, bistros—all formats are great for tasting local specialties. Set out to conquer the most unique bars in the city during your vacation and bring back unforgettable memories.

Playing an escape game for fun during your city vacation

The escape game is a new type of game that came straight from our Japanese friends. Invented over 10 years ago, this entertainment is gaining more and more fans all over the world. The goal of the game is to complete a mission as a team, while locked in a room within a set time limit. France discovered the escape game in Paris, and since then, it has invaded many cities across the country. It is a game suitable for adults, but some venues also offer versions for children. Transported into another world, you will have a very fun and engaging time.

Participating in a cooking workshop

Every region of France hides culinary treasures. Why not take advantage of your city vacation to participate in a cooking workshop? It is an activity you can do alone, with friends, or with your family. Children will enjoy getting their hands dirty, and the adults will delight in learning new recipes. A friendly and enjoyable moment that will allow you to impress your guests at your next dinner party.
