California-Style Dreaming at Paris Beaches

Who said palm trees were out of place in Paris? Paris Plage (Paris Beach) is back for the sixth year running, turning a stretch of the highway along the Seine River and two more locations around the city into a summertime playground. Whether you wish to relax on a chaise longue, swim in a floating pool on the Seine, glide around in a kayak, or enjoy free evening concerts in the open air, everyone will find something to their taste at the three beaches that will be anchored around town through August 19th.
