Every summer, the Paris riverbanks take on the look of a seaside resort with parasols, deckchairs, palm trees … everything you need to enjoy summer living at 3 main locations: the Parc Rives de Seine, the La Villette canal basin and the Trocadero gardens.

There are lots of activities for grown-ups and kids: bathing and water sports at La Villette canal basin, as well as workshops for kids, board games, books, exhibitions, plus lots of sports-related events linked to Paris’s bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.

And if the weather’s hot, you can cool off at one of the onsite open-air refreshment kiosks or ice-cream sellers!
