Free Concerts at Paris Plage 2012

Every summer in tandem with Paris Plage, the ephemeral operation that sees banks of the Seine and the Canal de l'Ourq transformed into beachside "resorts", the city of Paris and music store FNAC puts on a series of free concerts. This year, to the disappointment of some, the program has been whittled down to only four evenings, but it's still a great occasion to soak up some live music -- all for free.

In 2012, the FNACLive Festival takes place on the Parvis de l'Hotel de Ville just outside Paris City Hall (Metro: Hotel de Ville) on July 19th-22nd. Headlining acts this year will soon be announced.
