A day at the beach - not!
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 2 of 5 stars

Crowded, boring.
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 2 of 5 stars
Paris plage is an institution. Every summer Parisians are waiting for it to open. And every summer we are all disappointed.

TripAdvisor traveler rating: 1 of 5 stars
Give it a miss and go to the real seaside. This has nothing to recommend it at all. Walking along the banks of the Seine is normally a pleasant experience but not at Paris Plage time- far, far too...

Paris Plage 2008
TripAdvisor traveler rating: 4 of 5 stars
A day at the beach in Paris is something to take slowly. You can go early and stay late, the most important thing to remember is to slow down and enjoy relaxing in the middle of a busy city. A...
