Paris Plages - 20 July to 20 August

For a few years, the city of Paris has been converting the quays (lowered walks along the Seine) into an urban beach (with a swimming pool; lounges for tanning; misting "trees"; music; performance art; rockwall climbing; volley ball - and of course PETANQUE courts).

This year, from July 20th to August 20th, there will be DOUBLE the fun with a beach on both the Left and Right (Gauche/Droit) banks of the Seine.

If you consult the map (click on it to enlarge) you'll see that this year's petanque is being played day & night near the Pont Louis Philippe (Rive Droite).
