A special edition awaits us this year for Paris Plage 2024. Not two, but 3 sites will brighten up the summer season. Here's the program for this special edition of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

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.

To mark the arrival of the Olympic Games in Paris , Paris Plages is expanding beyond its traditional locations at the Bassin de la Villette and on the banks of the Seine for this 23rd season. This year, the Canal Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement welcomes the summer festivities, with a unique proposal for 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.

The Bassin de la Villette is dedicated to young people and families, with a wide range of fun activities. The Canal Saint-Martin offers a swimming area and aquatic entertainment, while the Rives de Seine park will offer a variety of cultural activities, extending the experience of the opening ceremony.
