Let's go to the beach... in Paris!

If you can't go to the beach, the beach will come to you. This could be the motto for all parisiens that would like to enjoy a sandy beach, sea and sun, without going too far.

Paris-Plage (Paris Beach if you prefer) is the name of the project that was created in 2002, which transforms part of a public road into a pedestrian and leasure area, with green and sandy areas.

It's not a real beach of course, even if you have 100 m2 of sand (not much indeed) and water in front of you. By "water" I mean the Seine River and it's there just to be seen because you can't swim in it... although it would be fun to see the tourists' boats slaloming among swimmers! eheheh
That's what I call entertainement! :P

So, don't bother to bring your shorts or bikini... maybe just some sunscreen because even sunshine is not guaranteed! eheheh

Maybe you won't see the sunset over the horizon but I admit the view is unique. ;)
