Paris Plage
Paris Plage has become a highly successful annual event since its inception in 2001. Every year during the month of July and August, a busy 3.5 km (2-mile) section of riverfront expressway in the city centre are shut off and turned into a giant leisure oasis. During this time cars are replaced by a flurry of deckchairs and hammocks and even an open-air swimming pool which are mainly aimed towards children features alongside the stalls selling food, drinks and ice cream.
The sight of relaxing locals and tourists, mist sprays, and sand brings a smile from all but the most-weary of Parisians. Even when there is no sand, for the rest of the year sections of the river are now closed frequently at weekends to allow Parisians to cycle and walk along the riverside, such is the popularity and the success of Paris Plage.
