At Scrunchie is back, we love the sun. The warmth, the beautiful colors of the sky, tanned skin, and late-day thunderstorms. But who says thunderstorm, says rainy weather! Since we can't enjoy the gardens when the rain is in the sky, we've found the best things to do. Put on your rubber boots, we're taking you on adventures full of love and, above all, fresh water!
GO SNAIL HUNTING
Yes, really! Put on your rubber boots , your essential raincoat and your beret , grab your little basket ; you're ready to go into the forest !
Rain attracts our friends the snails, a rather anecdotal activity in wet weather. Along your way, you might also find mushrooms (bring Uncle Jean-Louis, the mushroom expert, it would be a shame to end up in the hospital...).
INVITE YOURSELF TO T'CUP!
In the heart of the Marais district, discover the T'Cup tea room . A little cocoon of well-being, with a huge tea menu and scones to die for. It's also a family affair : Nassila and her mother, the creators of the place, always welcome you with a smile. A caring place where you feel at home, pampered by mom...
Take advantage of the books in the large library, the board games available or the magnificent decor to take a photo (so Instagrammable!) of your little face wearing a hairdo .

A LITTLE GAME OF CHESS
Board games : those sweet memories of winter Sundays with the family ! Why not let yourself be carried away by a wave of nostalgia ? Get out your chessboard, Cluedo and another Monopoly, and challenge your Jules or your family !
TRAVEL TO EXOTIC TERRAIN
Have you ever explored the marvelous Jardin des Plantes in Paris ? Covering 24 hectares, right next to the Gare d'Austerlitz, you'll find 15,000 plant species, 3,000 of which are in greenhouses.
Sheltered from the rain, enter the greenhouses where the atmosphere is warm, humid, and tropical. Silence reigns, the scents blend together, and the colors are invigorating. In short, a great way to escape Paris and enrich your botanical culture...
Don't forget your waterproof scrunchie : it gets really hot in the greenhouses !

Gare d'Austerlitz station on the 5 or RER C
TAKE A LITTLE DIVE
As our Greek friends say so well: " What is wet does not fear the rain." Not so silly ! After all, if you're going to be soaked, why not be completely soaked ?
Discover the Molitor swimming pool in Paris, the Verdon Gorges , or even the coves of the Mediterranean... In France, we have no shortage of water ! We even have a little too much of it...
To avoid getting your hair wet while swimming, wear a nice cap !
Okay, the photo is a bit misleading; it's sunny. We have a good excuse : it's taking you away from the gray sky . We're not going to lie : a blue sky is always better !
