Paris Plage is set up along a stretch of the right bank ("rive droite" in French) of the Seine River. In 2010, the Paris municipal government announced part of this strip would soon become a permanent pedestrian area-- good news for lovers of strolls in the city of lights. Here, Paris Plage 2010 as seen from the area near Hotel de Ville (Paris City Hall).
