10 ideas to discover Paris with friends
A morning that unfolds gently.
Coffee brewing, conversations picking up again around the table, light sliding across the rooftops. In Paris with friends, you don’t chase landmarks you live the city, together.
Staying in a neighbourhood like Batignolles means choosing a more intimate, more human Paris. A capital best explored on foot, guided by mood and impulse, between long shared tables, spontaneous walks and evenings that linger.
Here are 10 concrete ideas for what to do in Paris with friends no fixed itinerary, just plenty of memories waiting to be made.
What to do in Paris with friends during the day? 5 ideas to slow down and enjoy
1. Wander through a neighbourhood with no set route
Pick a neighbourhood : Le Marais, Belleville, Montmartre or Batignolles and walk without a plan.
You stop when a terrace catches your eye, change direction on a whim. That’s often where the best moments happen.
2. Picnic in a Parisian park
Stop by the bakery, the market or the local grocer, then settle into Square des Batignolles, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont or along the Canal Saint-Martin.
Bread, cheese, fruit, endless conversations, Paris at its simplest.
3. Browse a flea market or local brocante
At weekends, Paris loves to tell its story through objects.
Neighbourhood brocantes, flea markets, garage sales you rummage, compare, laugh at each other’s unexpected finds.
4. Explore Paris on foot, along the water
The Seine riverbanks, Bassin de la Villette or the canals offer a different pace.
Walking side by side, sitting by the water, watching the city drift by perfect for long conversations.
5. See Paris from above
Head up to Montmartre, climb the Parc de Belleville or find a rooftop.
Paris always feels better when shared from above.

6. Share an apéritif in a friendly wine bar
In Paris, apéritifs are an art form.
A few glasses, some shared plates, and the evening unfolds naturally no fixed plans, just good company.
7. Try an experience to enjoy together
Escape games, creative workshops, tastings, cooking classes…
Doing something new as a group instantly creates shared memories and often a lot of laughter.
8. Discover a cultural or hybrid venue
Independent cinemas, live-music bars, late-night exhibitions, vibrant cultural spaces.
In Paris, evenings are as much about artistic discovery as they are about sharing a drink.
9. Wander through Paris by night
A nighttime stroll through illuminated streets, along the riverbanks or in a lively neighbourhood changes everything.
The city slows down, conversations deepen, time seems to fade away.
10. Celebrate a special occasion together
A birthday, a reunion, or simply the joy of being together.
In Paris, every occasion deserves to be marked a long dinner, an improvised surprise, a thoughtful detail. Shared moments turn into lasting memories.
