The sunny days are coming and with them a lot of clichés inviting us to drastically reduce the number of calories on the counter – no longer say the word “diet” – if we want to have a new look, not to mention a good impression in our swimsuits .

As good, well-informed friends, we traveled through the Marais to find the best “healthy and gourmet” canteens of the moment. Because eating healthy today no longer means starving yourself or wasting away from boredom in front of a tasteless salad, quite the contrary.

Follow the guide.
