Oh Paris

Paris Plage (Paris Beach) is back again in the capital of France. From July 20 till August 20 Parisians and tourists can enjoy the yearly artificial beach at the borders of the Seine river. Paris Plage turns Paris in a real seaside resort, and probably with much more entertainment than most cities at the borer of the sea.

This year’s Paris Beach is focused on the environment (by separating trash, recycled sand, controlled water usage etc), but also cultural activities, sports, relaxation and good mood …

Paris Plage has made it mark since its conception in July 2002 by transforming part of river Seine banks, usually occupied by traffic jams, into a beach. It’s main purpose is to allow Parisian, who do not go on summer holidays, and of course the guests of the city the delight of beach entertainment.

Paris Plage (Paris beach) offers everything you find on a real beach like tons of sand, water mist sprayers to cool off, armchairs to relax, and beach cabins made of wood and steel.

But Paris plage is also free concerts, free sports, and lots of cultural events.

Paris Beach can be found on the Voie Georges-Pompidou in the center of Paris.
