From mid-July to mid-August, sand beaches are constructed along the right bank of the Seine river across from the Île de la Cité and in the Parc de la Villette next to the Villette Basin. A series of activities are hosted at the two beaches and in the place in front of the Hôtel de Ville, including free concerts, dance classes, mini-golf, pétanque, a big screen set up for viewing the Olympics (they did something similar for the French Open), a temporary library of books available for enjoying on the beach, and educational programming related to health and the environment.
The beach makes for a fun and summery backdrop walks along the river, but I think what we are enjoying most is the warm, sunny weather that seemed to arrive in Paris with the construction of the beach.
