When temperatures rise in Paris, a frozen treat is a must! This summer, set off to discover the capital's best ice cream parlors, all easily accessible from Hôtel des Mines.

A delicious journey that will delight young and old alike, just steps from the Luxembourg Gardens and the Latin Quarter. There’s nothing like a scoop of artisanal ice cream to cool down after a day of sightseeing.

Timeless Favorites That Parisians Can’t Resist

You simply can’t talk about ice cream in Paris without mentioning Berthillon, a true Parisian institution located on the Île Saint-Louis. Since 1954, this artisanal house has been delighting food lovers with its intense seasonal fruit sorbets and creamy ice creams. Just a short metro ride from the hotel, it’s the perfect stop after a stroll along the Seine or a visit to Notre-Dame.

Another iconic spot is Pozzetto, in the Marais district, where you can savor authentic Italian gelato in subtle flavors like Piedmont hazelnut or Sicilian pistachio, served generously in a crisp cone.

Next-Gen Ice Cream Shops to Try This Summer

For a touch of creativity and exotic flair, head to Bachir, famous for its Lebanese-style orange blossom ice cream, coated in crushed pistachios. A unique texture and unforgettable taste!

Those who love originality will also be charmed by Une Glace à Paris, founded by two “Meilleurs Ouvriers de France”, blending boldness with expert craftsmanship.

Their inventive creations — like black sesame, fromage blanc-blackcurrant, or matcha green tea — surprise and delight even the most curious palates.

Located in the heart of the 5th arrondissement, Hôtel des Mines is the perfect starting point for exploring these sweet destinations.
