August is a famously quiet time in Paris due to the mass exodus of Parisians who go on summer vacation, leaving mostly tourists behind to enjoy the city and its many sights and attractions all for themselves. Lots of restaurants and cafés close during the month, which can make it tricky to find somewhere to eat and drink if you’re visiting the city, or one of the few locals (like me) to remain.
As someone who celebrates a birthday in August and who seems to always find themselves in Paris at this time of the year, I’ve made it my mission to hunt down some of the best restaurants and cafés that will be open this month in the city. Head to HiP Paris Blog to find out.
