Healthy Guide to Paris
There is nothing like a French baguette or pain au chocolate (my favorite.)
The key? As with everything in life, moderation and balance.
Here are a few places that kept me healthy during my trip:
1) The Yoga Factory
I should write Karine and Thibaut (owners) a letter and thank them for allowing me to eat whatever I wanted while in Paris. The Yoga Factory‘s hot Vinyasa flow, although quite expensive, has been my saving grace. I go to classes here 2-3x/week and sweat my butt off with an intense workout. My favorite class was the ‘Dynamique‘ which worked your entire body.Move – Play – Connect
25 Euros/class or 10-class package for 180
2) Vegalia Juice
106 rue Amelot (3rd)
Located right next to my Yoga studio (I’m such a New Yorker- after yoga I want green juice) this new Paris Juice Bar is delicious. They have every juice combination you could ever want (even adding fun ingredients like Maca, Sprulina, etc) And it’s much cheaper than other juice bars in Paris!
You MUST try their salad combination platter (photo above). I ate these at least 3x/week and it was always fun to see what healthy food combinations they came up with.
The owner is very passionate about health/wellness and it doesn’t hurt that he’s also quite charming.
3) Velib
For 8 Euros/week you have no excuse not to bike everywhere and exercise. Biking is such a fun way to explore Paris- there’s nothing like riding over the beautiful bridges across the Seine. Magical.
And remember— your goal should be to try every flavor Macarons at La Durée
