"The event gives you the opportunity to admire a man-made beach along the Seine. The artificial beach is made up of sand and put up large parasols, running along the famous river in Paris that makes visitors have a great time. I feel like I'm on a beach vacation."

Paris Plages literally translates to "Paris Beach". This event originated in 2002, in the summer months, tourists come to Paris too much while the demand for going to the beach in paris is high, so many shops and coffee shops close to go. travel. This reduces the city's tourism revenue. So the mayor of the city has an initiative to create artificial beaches for people in the city who cannot go to the beach in the summer.

The original version of the Paris Plages was on the right bank of the river near the Notre-Dame de Paris church. And this event has created a positive effect not only for river people in the city but also for tourists coming to the city. So in the following years the number of Paris Plages sites increased and now there are 5 sites.

The image of palm trees stretching on the beach creates a relaxing scene, the sea breeze blowing in with a cool feeling. The festival includes outdoor activities, concerts and a variety of delicious dishes sold on the sea. Held for 4 weeks and runs from 8am to midnight
