The beach along the river in Paris

Hi all



Well my next Europe trip is the wonderful city of Paris. I have head that in the summer a stretch of the river is turned into a beach (much like the one in Rome).



Does anyone know when this is? I am visiting paris from the 17th to the 20th August and am hoping it is still there. Also is there an entracnce fee I am imagining there will be.



Many thanks

Hello Kookjet,



It is more like a promenade at the beach. For maybe a mile on the right bank of the Seine the city closes a two lane highway, moves in palm trees, grass, sand, beach chairs, hammocks, picnic tables etc., local cafes set up, bands play and the people show up! There are adult and childrens games, even a pool, but no swimming in the river!.....



You will love it.



We will just miss it if the opening date stays the same.......darn it! We have to leave on the 18th..........

Hi kookie,





If you go to http://Parisdailyphoto.blogspot.com/



You can see pictures of the Paris Plage. It looks neat and fun!





You will have to go back once you get to the site as the pictures were a little while ago.





But, you will find them! Good luck.

I saw the official dates not too long ago...somewhere...but can%26#39;t find them again...but like you, I recall on or about July 20th-thru-August 20th.





One of the place that is often overlooked (perhaps because it is so dam obvious) for GREAT information and ideas on all sorts of on-going and up-coming events and activities in Paris is the official web site of the PARIS TOURISM OFFICE---





http://www.parisinfo.com/





This site always has interesting information on all sorts of events and activities going on in and around Paris...quite often with direct links to more specific and detailed information and descriptions. It%26#39;s well worth adding to your FAVORITES LIST and checking on a regular basis.

We were there last summer and I agree with the dates. There was a bridge on which people were having picnic dinners or just wine and cheese spread on a blanket. Does anyone know the name of the bridge? Thanks, JA
