We Parisian women are so hungry for light and sun that the sunlight gives us joy. It is a need that also has a scientific basis: the sun on the skin stimulates the molecules of pleasure and well-being and is also essential for the synthesis of vitamin D. Haven’t you seen Parisian women sitting at a sidewalk café with their chins lifted toward the sky to catch some sunshine? So for us “Paris Plages” is fantastic !!!
PARIS PLAGE: from 6 July 2019 to 1 September 2019
Dozing in the summer sun by the water, taking part in an exciting beach volleyball match, getting a tan together whilst the kids build a sandcastle … In summertime in Paris, this is all possible with the Paris Plages event! From from mid-July to mid-August, the Georges-Pompidou expressway (4th) and the La Villette canal basin (19th) will be transformed into an oasis of deckchairs and fine sand, inviting Parisians to unwind and take advantage of the many different activities on offer.
This summer, the embankment roads traditionally used by cars will once again adopt a seaside atmosphere.Deckchairs, fine sand, palm trees, musical entertainment, shows, bowls will, games and actitvities for children, dance workshops... come together again, for both children and adults to enjoy.The 2019 edition takes place: voie George Pompidou, Bassin de la Villette and parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville (City Hall)
