A beach in Paris? Yes, you don’t have to to go to the French Riviera to get a beach experience. Every summer in July the Paris Plages arrive along the River Seine at the Parc Rives de Seine and the La Villette Canal Basin. Each pop-up beach has deckchairs, umbrellas, and other beach accessories and even offers activities for adults and children with water sports, games and more. Sand and swimming pools are installed for the real beach experience.
