WEEKEND tips fOR April 1, 2 & 3
Bonjour tout le monde! While you’re doing fun things in Amsterdam, I’m staying in Paris this weekend, yay! Once again, I’m hitting the trail to keep you up to date about the newest and best hotspots in this wonderful city. But of course I also love to inspire everybody at home! Thanks to the sunny weekend, everyone is looking for the best spot to enjoy the sun. Bar Restaurant 1900 is definitely one of my favourite terraces. Or start your Saturday with a relaxing session of Volksyoga on the roof terrace of Volkshotel. So lovely with the beautiful view and the sun on your face! But there is so much more to do in town! What? You’ll discover in this Amsterdam Weekend Guide! >> Enjoy!
