Paris Beaches On The Streets

Posted on 06 September 2010

One of Paris’s several tourist attraction is this artificial beach called “Paris Beach”. The special thing about this beach is that it is built in a section of the pedestrian bank by the river Seine in the middle of Paris. It’s has become a huge success; more and more visitors are coming each year, and the record was in the summer of 2007 with 4 million beach visitors.

The beach contains tons of sand that gets imported, and there are full sized palm trees, chaise-lounges and beach chairs to create the feeling of a “real beach”. By the beach there is a walking passage where you also can ride a bike, and it looks kind of weird with such a narrow beach right by.

The only thing that is missing is the water, because the river is isolated from the beach so it is impossible for the visitors to take a swim to cool down.
