Paris Beach Open

By , About.com Guide   July 24, 2010

Follow me on:

Every July through August, sand is loaded onto a bank of the Seine to create the "Paris Plage" along the road and river from Ile St. Louis to the Jardin des Tuileries -- something to do for those Parisians left in the city in summer, and one of the five top free things for you to do in Paris. Umbrellas, concerts... park a picnic on this man-made Paris beach from July 20-August 20 in 2010 to meet people and lounge. Rouse yourself long enough to watch a wild bike ride-parade-street happening near nearby Hotel de Ville on summer Friday nights.
