Summertime in Paris, let’s go to « Paris plages »!

Summertime in Paris, let’s go to « Paris plages »!

An alley of palm trees in front of the Conciergerie, deckchairs facing the beautiful banks of Ile Saint Louis, swings, games, terraces… Paris Plages was created for summer 2002 and is more and more popular. It gives the opportunity to have a lovely break with your children during a day visiting Paris.

In the historical center of Paris, Paris Plages is located on the right bank of the river Seine, facing the two islands of Paris in a former riverside road turned into a pedestrian area welcoming joggers, bikes, strollers and just you and me walking in Paris.

Chilling on the deckchairs, playing giant chess game, climbing, enjoying a swing tour facing the Seine and getting refreshed by huge water payers… Paris is not only the beautiful historical city that we love. It is also a summer city where you can think of having some relaxing vacation time.

The Olympic Games scheduled next summer have also had an influence on the development of another part of Paris Plages in La Villette where you can enjoy a lot of activities on the water!
 
Like on a beach in the French Riviera, some young people called « plagistes » wearing an orange t-shirt can assist you.

Most of the activities are free except of course having a drink or sharing a snack. Timeless and beautiful view, relaxing mood and discovering another aspect of Paris!
