Summertime sadness be gone with you! Its swelteringly hot again which means outdoor bars, restaurants and partying are essential to survive the summer in pretty Paris. Fancy a change from Nuba and Wanderlust? Yeah thought so. Check out their new refreshingly fun neighbor Le Playtime located just a few doors down at 36 quai d’austerlitz.

Why should you go?

Because it pretty much has everything that’s why. It’s on a boat on the Seine, food, bar, restaurant, club and wait for it…even a small pool to dip your toes into when you feel that summer sweat coming on or if you’re really just gagging to show off that summer bod you’ve been prepping all year for! So don’t forget your bathing suits boys and girls and have no fear, the normal Parisian rules of tight speedos and bathing caps do not apply!

Replenish yourself!

Summer time eating means good fresh food alongside some juicy fruity drinks that will keep you hydrated/liquored up enough to last all night. Le Playtime delivers this need perfectly with a menu of grilled meats, healthy salads and a selection of drinks to drool over. One recommends the brochette porc au caramel with a large spritzer on the side. Sweet and meaty just the way you like it! Oh and if you still have room in that little stomach of yours then take the cheesecake for dessert…mmmmmmm.

Party, Party, Party!

If swimming and eating isn’t enough then head downstairs where you will find the cocktail bar and dance floor. Open till 2am Monday – Saturday, expect a Wanderlust/Nuba style of crowd to dance with to the latest Parisian summer sounds.

All in all if you want a cosy, chilled, down to earth and deliciously refreshing summer vibe with a beautiful setting then head to Le Playtime where the name really does sum it up!
