Best Things to Do:

I did a quick search, and Google informed me that adult coloring books have also arrived in the United States. Here, it has become a trend and an immense success in publishing. This activity, previously used to keep children occupied in restaurants, on planes, and when parents found themselves on the verge of a nervous breakdown, has turned into an activity for young adults, mature individuals, and seniors looking for a zen break.
Experts say that when attention spans are completely drained and intellectual output is close to zero, the coloring book isolates the person within a bubble of recovery. A manual activity that empties the mind and immerses adults in nostalgic childhood memories.
This activity falls within the category of books that speak about well-being, stress relief, and meditation. As it is easy and inexpensive, requiring no particular knowledge and ultimately seeking pleasure tied to creativity through the use of colors, sales of coloring books have exploded.
We have selected some French options:
Published and sold by the Fondation Cartier, we have the coloring book by Brazilian artist Beatriz Milhazes Le Cercle et ses amis. Price: €9.
Within the same Fondation collection, the Coloriage avec Moebius. Price: €6.50.
Cahier des coloriages de la Fondation Cartier.
Amazon-themed coloring book from Editora Larousse.
The Fleurus Publishing sells the book Mon Cahier de flânerie. When in Paris, discover the proposed locations and complete the drawings according to your imagination. Price: €9.95.
The Hachette Publishing has, among others, two interesting proposals. A XXL-sized poster of Paris to be personalized. Each person colors Paris according to their emotions. Price: €5.90.
The Hachette Publishing also offers a fashion option, My fashion coloriages. You choose the colors of shoes, dresses, lingerie, and accessories, creating your style on the spot. Price: €12.90.
Not forgetting the famous Doodle Books by artist Claire Fay. I really like the Doodle Book for Parents Who Dare to Draw with Their Children. But here, we are no longer just coloring. The Cahiers de Gribouillages are sold by Casterman Publishing.
These books can be an original keepsake from Paris.
