There is so much to do in Paris that it can seem overwhelming. We nailed down a handful of our favorite wellness activities so you can prioritize the ones that speak to you. 

If you're looking to spend a day in one place to work or just unwind, this luxury gym is the place for you. Blanche is housed in a former private mansion; it’s a high-end gym featuring gym equipment, a pool and studio for Pilates, cycling, and other workout classes. After your workout, you can hit the spa and relax in the sauna or hammam. You can finish your time off at the BB Blanche breakfast, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner every single day. You will need a membership to access this gym, but if you're a regular visitor to Paris, it could be worth it!  

If you’re looking for a morning routine that's a little less local and a little more touristy, may we recommend taking a yoga class underneath the Eiffel Tower? You can breathe, stretch, and flow through a solid yoga workout while taking in the breathtaking sights. There are a couple of low-key options, but this one hosted by former New Yorker Tioka via Airbnb has nearly 400 positive reviews.

Shopping is an essential part of the Parisian experience. Now you can visit the French department store Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann with more than just shopping on the mind. This insulation features workout classes, healthy menus, and holistic treatments alongside shopping pop ups that compliment the three focuses: sport, self-care, and wellness.

If you're on a food-focused trip to Paris, there's no better way to really engage with the local cuisine than by cooking it yourself. There are countless amounts of cooking courses available in Paris, but if you're looking for one to help you maintain healthy habits once you get home (but is still très French), iconic French chef Alain Ducasse’s school, Ecole de Cuisine, has an entire wellness program. You can learn how to cut down on waste in the kitchen, how to cook healthy, simple meals, or how to create delicious gluten-free pastries.  

Do you know what sets natural wines apart from others? You can take a guided four-hour wine course to learn about the organic process of wine making while tasting delicious natural wines all around Paris. You’ll get to enjoy four glasses of natural wines alongside three-hour specialties such as cheeses and cold cuts. This is a great way to get out of the touristy areas and enjoy the cool, quiet neighborhoods you may have never discovered on your own.

If your trip to France is long enough, make sure you head France's southern Mediterranean coast. (Or, perhaps Nice is the main and only event.) The Côte d'Azur town is known for combining luxury with easy, relaxed living. And that's embodied in no better places than the spectacular beaches: Plage Beau Rivage is a trendy, vibrant hot spot, Ruhl Plage is is rich in charm, and Le Voilier is a broad public option.

French cuisine is one of the main reasons to even visit Paris! If you want to indulge in all the delicacies Paris has to offer but are worried about dietary restrictions, do not fret. There are tons of places to get delicious vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free meals!

This vegan gourmet restaurant offers seasonal plant-based meals using local organic products to deliver a dining experience that's nothing short of swoon-worthy. Beyond the delicious food, you can feel good about the restaurant's dedication to promoting a sustainable, environmentally friendly landscape.

Nothing is more Parisian than a croissant and a coffee—and now even vegans can enjoy the flakey pastry thanks to this plant-based bakery. Founded in 2016, VG Pâtisserie was the first of its kind to deliver delicious vegan versions of all your favorite French pastries.

Formally Bob's Kitchen, this vegetarian restaurant and juice bar is the perfect lunchtime pit stop. This healthy eatery serves bowls filled with rice, veggies, and sauces for a dish alongside gluten-free pancakes and organic juices for meals that are as colorful as they are tasty.

In the chicest city in the world, you'll want to dress your best so you can feel confident and comfortable while walking (or biking!) around to all the sights. We rounded up some key must-have items from French brands we know you'll fall in love with.

Between all these great wellness experiences, don't forget to enjoy all the stunning architecture, culture, and beauty Paris has to offer. Taking in the sights and their histories can be just as grounding as a yoga class.
