Paris Summer # 2: Sun, samba, and urban beaches in July & August



Paris Beaches are back. Yes, urban beaches. The Paris Plages (beaches) are back with the rhythms and colours of Brazil. From 5 July to 31 August 2025, three main sites transform into tropical escapes: 1) the Bassin de la Villette (with zip lines and water games), 2) the Canal Saint-Martin (with terraces and art), and 3) the Seine riverbanks (with food markets and beach volleyball).

 

The highlight will be the Brazil-France 2025 cultural season with block parties, samba dancers, DJ sets, outdoor film nights, and Brazilian food right in the heart of Paris. 

Whether you’re watching a batucada parade or sipping a coconut cocktail by the river Seine, this year’s Paris Plages is a multicultural summer party not to miss.

What to Pack:

  • Beach towel, sunscreen, and dancing shoes.
  • Appetite for acarajé, brigadeiros, and fresh juice.
