When the temperature soars in Paris, any excuse to cool down is welcome. Until July 11, a renowned fashion house is inviting passersby to enjoy a complimentary Italian ice cream in front of its new store.<\/p>\n
Between bouts of intense heat and streets that begin to sizzle by late morning, finding some relief from the warmth quickly becomes a top priority in the capital. Some people look for a park, others a shaded terrace. Then there are those who stumble upon a free ice cream giveaway right on the street. Since the end of June, a major Parisian ready-to-wear brand has set up a delightful little gourmet spot in front of its new location, right in the heart of Paris.<\/p>\n
The event is taking place in the 1st arrondissement through July 11. The area is never short of foot traffic, with tourists, workers, and shopping enthusiasts moving between Les Halles, the Palais-Royal, and the numerous shops in the city center. For the occasion, an ice cream cart has been stationed in front of the store. A few tall tables and large umbrellas allow for a brief stop before continuing on one’s way. It’s not a major event or a huge terrace, but rather a refreshing break offered to passersby.<\/p>\n
The brand hosting this event is none other than Ami Paris. Its new store, located at 4, Place des Victoires, is hosting this giveaway in partnership with the Italian ice cream maker Sammontana. Founded in Empoli, Tuscany, in the late 1940s, this former family-run gelateria has become one of Italy’s prominent ice cream names. Its products are known for their rich and creamy texture. This partnership thus ensures a quality product, a far cry from the hastily distributed ice cream sometimes found during promotional events.<\/p>\n
To partake in this icy delight, there’s a small requirement to fulfill. It’s not possible to simply pick up the dessert from the counter. Visitors must scan a QR Code, provide their first name, last name, and email address, and then select their desired flavor. Once this information is entered, the ice cream is handed over. While some may not mind this process, others might prefer not to provide their contact details just for a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n
