Summer in Paris, what do we look for in a place to live?

    Accueil > CULTURE > Lifestyle

    The Parisian summer is unique in that it transforms the way we experience the city. The days grow longer, the pavements widen with the addition of outdoor cafés, and we seek not just a place to eat, but a place to linger, stroll, read, chat or simply relax.

    But what makes a place a true summer retreat in the city today?

    Shade, light, and the desire to breathe

    When the temperature rises, we flee confined, dark spaces. It is often the natural light filtered through large windows or softened by parasols that first catches the eye. We seek air, but also a slower pace, an atmosphere that invites us to slow down. Far from overly expeditious service, summer hangouts offer a new temporality, neither quite a café nor quite a restaurant.

    Comfort and flexibility: staying longer than expected

    What we are often looking for is a place where we hadn’t planned to spend so much time. A comfortable bench, a playlist that leaves room for silence, sockets to charge our phones, and above all a vague feeling of freedom, being able to work, have lunch, drink an iced coffee, read or even come back in the evening for a drink.

    This model of a modular space is becoming increasingly popular in urban areas, driven by the desire to experience the city in different ways without changing location.

    The taste of summer: freshness, lightness and indulgence

    The menu also plays a role, with a focus on fresh, local and light options, with particular attention paid to drinks, which are often signature creations. Homemade juices, cold brew coffees, alcohol-free cocktails and small plates to share are becoming key features of the experience.

    Le Sand, a new venue nestled on Rue Mont Thabor, is fully in line with this trend. Designed by the teams at Alfred and Alfi’s, this hybrid space, halfway between a chic brasserie and a coffee shop, focuses on a refined aesthetic and a summer menu tailored for sunny days.

    People at the heart of the venue

    But beyond the decor and the food, what we often seek is an atmosphere, embodied by a welcoming team, a diverse clientele and a feeling of ‘home away from home’. Summer makes relationships more spontaneous and exchanges easier. The venue then becomes a link, a crossroads of experiences.

    A good summer spot in Paris is not just a place to eat or drink. It is a space that adapts to us, to our changing desires, to our rhythms, to our need for balance. The city seems to understand that its inhabitants are not just looking to feed themselves… but to live each moment to the fullest.
