Who said that Paris did not have a beach? Since 2002, Parisians and tourists can enjoy the already famous Paris Plage. It is an urban beach that stretches the length and breadth of the banks of the Seine River. It is one of the most famous and busiest urban beaches in the international territory.
To enjoy the beach in Paris, it only needs to be summer, since the activity starts at the beginning of July and lasts throughout the summer. During the first days of September, Paris Plage closes its beach bars and collects all its racks to return a year later.
Outdoor events and shows
In the heart of the historic center of Paris, tourists and citizens alike can lie in the sun and have a typical summer cocktail. The banks of the Seine become a kind of urban beach with a wide variety of leisure and entertainment options. Artificial grass, sand, sun loungers, umbrellas and all kinds of sports activities is part of what you can do if you visit the Parisian beach.
In 2002, when Paris Plage was inaugurated, there was only one area set aside for this: the Rive Droite del Seine. Today, and after more than 15 years of success, the Parisian beach extends across a much wider space, including areas near the banks of the Seine River.
