Like a little hunger?
Île-de-France, a real land of gourmets. Proof? 29,000 cafés and traditional restaurants, including 131 Michelin-starred restaurants, 30 "roadside restaurants" and 25,000 fast-food restaurants have a table already ready for you!
For the record, one of the first "real" French restaurants was born in 1782 in Paris, at 26 rue de Richelieu, in the 1st arrondissement. Opened by Antoine de Beauvilliers, La Grande Taverne de Londres offered Parisians dishes as they were then eaten at the Palace of Versailles. Chic.
And you, where is your next table?

Our Office Lives
912,942 companies are located in Île-de-France, no less! It is not surprising, therefore, that there are 2.2 million trips made every day by public transport between home and work*!
And since 72% of French people consider that work contributes to their personal happiness (in particular because it allows them to develop social ties**), the return to the office is finally the possibility of resuming the little rituals we love, such as drinks (farewell, birthday, Christmas, to celebrate a birth, a wedding, etc.) and the gifts that go with them.
So for your future back-to-the-office jars, here are some inspirations to get out of the traditional box of chocolates:
