Fête des Mères : nos idées de sorties
Mark your calendars: on Sunday, June 4, Mother’s Day will be celebrated across France. And what if this year you turned the occasion into a truly special moment to enjoy together as a family? Treat your mother to a unique experience in Paris with our ideas for outings, activities, and heartfelt gift inspiration.
1. An original day out
What better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by sharing a memorable evening in Paris? Treat your mother to an exceptional experience with a show at the Moulin Rouge. To make the moment even more special, choose the dinner-and-show option: an experience to enjoy together as a family in an iconic venue. Chef Arnaud Demerville and his team offer seasonal cuisine, crafted with fresh, carefully selected ingredients. An original gift idea to celebrate the occasion with love and make it truly unforgettable.
2. A moment of relaxation
Given that mums often don’t take enough time for themselves, we recommend making this day about pure relaxation. Spa, massage, facial treatments – all ideal options for pressing the pause button and truly pampering yourself. Book your mum in for a facial or a body massage in a renowned spa so that you can celebrate her, show her you care, and make her smile all at the same time. So many gift ideas that will allow her to recharge her batteries before continuing the family day out in Paris.
3. A tasty treat
For Mother’s Day Sunday, what could be better than a family brunch with the children? Head to Season, a must-visit spot in Paris to enjoy a delicious moment in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Toasts, pancakes, eggs prepared in countless ways, fresh fruit, and homemade drinks make up a generous menu that will delight both kids and adults. This brunch is the perfect Sunday activity to start the day gently while treating your mother. Be sure to book in advance to make the most of this flavourful outing idea.
4. A sporty activity
Is your mother more on the sporty side? For Mother’s Day, treat her to a unique experience with a pilates or barre class at Chez Simone, a yoga session at Maison Alaena, or even an indoor climbing session at Arkose Nation. You could also lace up your running shoes as a family and go for a light jog along the Seine, discovering some of Paris’s most beautiful landmarks along the way. Or better still, take out your bike or rent one and enjoy a ride through the city: the perfect outdoor activity to experience Paris on two wheels.
5. A time for fun
What if Mother’s Day was the perfect opportunity to enjoy a fun moment together as a family? Head out with the children to one of Paris’s board game bars, such as Les Mauvais Joueurs or Loufoque. You will never be short of games to play! Most of these venues also serve food, making it easy to spend the whole day there. With these gift ideas, you can create a tailor-made programme for Mother’s Day: massage, yoga class, show at the Moulin Rouge, brunch, and family games… So many ways to go out in Paris for a weekend and give mothers an unforgettable Mother’s Day.
6. An evening filled with music
If you are looking for a more unusual experience in Paris, musicals offer a wonderful escape that is both entertaining and artistic. You will discover a wide variety of shows: Parisian musicals inspired by the great classics, more modern productions with contemporary sounds, and even more intimate formats focused on emotion. Whatever the style, these performances often leave you with a vivid and lasting souvenir of Paris, to be shared or kept for yourself.
