A touch of Copacabana in Paris

Paris Plages is the completely free celebration of beach fun and relaxation that takes place every year in the capital around July and August. Launched in 2002 it provides a seaside holiday resort atmosphere for all who love sand and sunshine. Parisians and visitors to the capital alike can feel the sand between their toes, snooze in the shade of a palm tree and get stuck into an ice cream on the banks of the Seine from July 8th to September 3rd. A family event par excellence and totally conducive to relaxation, Paris Plages is a unique opportunity to enjoy a beach holiday in the heart of the capital. Playgrounds for children, water sprays, deckchairs, sun beds, sports and games facilities and various kinds of entertainment are organised by the City of Paris so that everyone can enjoy an extended summer vacation. The Georges-Pompidou Expressway is covered with several thousand tons of sand to transform it into a temporary beach, as are the banks of the Bassin de la Villette, which also hosts 3 bathing areas. One is for toddlers, another is just 1 metre 20 cm in depth, while the third is for swimmers. You can also take a pedalo or kayak onto the lake. The Ourcq Canal thus becomes a real waterfront resort to be enjoyed by all from the very youngest to those who are only young at heart.
