It's an event that's become a must since 2002: Paris Plages returns every year for even more relaxation, sunshine and ice cream by the water. This year, with the Olympic Games, the situation changes. Paris Plages expands with the introduction of a new relaxation site: the Canal Saint-Martin, designated as the new "Parisian Croisette". With this expansion ,Paris Plages promises a season rich in activities, extending the pleasure of urban vacations from July 6 to September 8.
For this season , Paris Plages is expanding beyond its traditional locations at the Bassin de la Villette and along the banks of the Seine. This year, the Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement welcomes the summer festivities, with a unique offer of swimming and relaxation on both banks. A swimming area awaits you near Square Jacques Villemin for a refreshing dip. There's plenty of free entertainment on site until September 1.
Note that the historic sites of the Rives de Seine and the Bassin de La Villette, see their openings staggered, this year due to the Olympic Games. So, on July 27, 2024, the day after the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, rather than on July 6, the sites will reopen, allowing us to enjoy sporting and cultural events, relaxation areas, misters and deckchairs .
The Bassin de la Villette is the place to be for swimming and water sports, as well as a host of family events. Games, readers and exhibitions are all part of this summer event, which transforms Paris into a seaside resort.
At the end of July, a range of free cultural and sporting activities will be on offer, including exhibitions, sports sessions, a toy library and an open-air library. For those looking to relax, don't worry, as sand, deckchairs and parasols will once again be set up on the banks of the Seine (Paris Centre) and around the Bassin de la Villette (19th arrondissement).
Once again,Paris Plages transforms the Bassin de la Villette into a summer resort. This year's activities focus on sports and swimming, canoeing, kayak polo, stand-up paddle, pedalos, pedal bikes, small boats and Hawaiian pirogues.
In addition, activities such as table soccer, pétanque and tai chi await us. Younger children can enjoy climbing, trampolines and activities specially designed for 3 to 7 year-olds with Ludo Plages. Also on the program isBibliothèques hors les murs , offering readings, workshops and fun activities .
Fancy a dip in the Seine? Head to theBassin de la Villette bathing area on Quai de la Loire, where the pools are open free of charge every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. from late July to early September!
This summer, the Rives de Seine are once again the place to stroll, stroll and relax. Parisians and tourists alike can enjoy Tai-Chi, pétanque, table soccer, giant games, running coaching, Swedish gym classes and reading with Bibliothèques Hors les Murs.
The parvis de l'Hôtel de Ville is transformed this year into the Terrasse des Jeux, making this spot a summer highlight in Paris.
