Who said that \u201csummer\u201d must necessarily rhyme with \u201cbeach and coconut trees\u201d?
\nThis year, choose to innovate and spend an urban summer in Paris.\u00a0When the days lengthen, the city has a different face and offers to its inhabitants, but also to its many visitors, a wide range of fun, cultural and leisure activities that will fit every taste and every budget.\u00a0For the summertime, change course and let yourself be led to spend the greatest summer in the City of Light.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is of course during the sunny days that it will be the most pleasant time to visit the city and to admire the most beautiful buildings of the capital.\u00a0You will have many options to enjoy the city at its best days thanks to the multitude of tours offered.<\/p>\n

So, what better than a cruise on the Seine to enjoy a small breeze while discovering the oldest and most prestigious buildings of the capital?\u00a0It is in fact initially around the Seine that the medieval city of Paris began to organize and it is on its shores that you can truly immerse yourself in its eclectic architecture (mixing historic buildings in the center and buildings more contemporary at the ends of the river).<\/p>\n

So enjoy the\u00a0Paris<\/a> launches\u00a0(pier at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, station\u00a0Bir Hakeim on the\u00a0underground line 6, station Trocad\u00e9ro\u00a0on the undergrounds lines 6 and 9) or\u00a0the<\/a> tourist river boat\u00a0(pier at the\u00a0level of the Grand Palais, station\u00a0Alma Marceau\u00a0on the underground line 9, RER C: station\u00a0Pont de l\u2019Alma) which will offer you a wide selection of cruises (with dinner, champagne tasting or a cruise on the mysteries of Paris).<\/p>\n

Book a Cruise on the Seine<\/a><\/p>\n

For about an hour, you can also have the pleasure of listening to a guide, who will tell you the noteworthy monuments.\u00a0Photographers will be on board to take pictures, alone or with your relatives.<\/p>\n

For those who do not want to be satisfied with the banks of the Seine, buses offer rides just as pleasant to discover the mythical districts of the capital.\u00a0Although these tours do not allow you to truly know Paris as your pocket, we may advise you\u00a0the\u00a0Open Tour<\/a>\u00a0with 4 bus routes and more than 50 stops in the capital; as well as buses with opened roofs to the outside, you can buy a pass for 1, 2 or 3 days and take the Bus Open Tour as you please.<\/p>\n

Have you seen a monument that seems interesting to you?\u00a0Get off the bus and go visit it.\u00a0After your tour you can take an Open Tour\u00a0bus\u00a0again and continue your visit in the city.\u00a0Audio guides are also available to explain to you the history of the streets and of the boroughs that you will discover.<\/p>\n

To add a retro and very Frenchy touch\u00e9, have a look on the website four wheels under one umbrella<\/a>\u00a0to rent a convertible two-horse car with driver. In this mythical French car, the driver will make you discover the most beautiful landscapes of Paris and will even propose you to get behind the wheel at the end of your journey! The price of these trips can be quite high (up to 100 euros per person for a 3-hour trip) but generally the quality of these excursions is worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Book a Visit in Paris in a 2CV Car<\/a><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, for these trips in a car as driver or not, we advise you to avoid the rush hours. Of course, the small size of cars will allow you to sneak in and out of buses and other vehicles, but the ride will surely be less pleasant.<\/p>\n

\n

Finally, for expert cyclists who have decided to avoid public transport, you will be able to enjoy the popular V\u00e9lib<\/a>\u00a0of Paris.\u00a0You can rent a bike thanks to the bollards present everywhere in the capital.\u00a0However, if low prices seem attractive, you should know that the 24h ticket (1.70 euros) will allow you to borrow V\u00e9lib\u2019 as many times as you want during the day, but if your journeys exceed 30 minutes you will need to pay extra for each half hour of overtime. If you rather do not want to spend your time watching your watch, we advise you to dedicate a day of your stay to discover Paris by renting bikes elsewhere.\u00a0Several companies offer this service (and sometimes some hotels too) and prices are usually about 20 euros for a 24-hour rental.\u00a0The bikes offered by these rental companies are often more manageable than the V\u00e9lib\u2019 and therefore more pleasant to use.\u00a0For further information, we advise you to contact\u00a0Paris Bike Tour<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Paris \u00e0 V\u00e9lo C\u2019est Sympa<\/a> that both offer a choice of two-wheeled vehicles for very attractive prices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"velib\"

However, we recommend this means of transport only to the most seasoned and accustomed cyclists who are used to handling a two-wheeled vehicle in the city because the Parisian traffic, including during summer, can be dangerous.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Parks and Picnics in Paris<\/h2>\n

It is when Paris changes to summertime that it is the most pleasant to discover or rediscover the parks of the capital. Indeed, the city does not lack green spaces and we have selected for you some which are particularly pleasant during beautiful days.<\/p>\n

\"Parc\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the popular\u00a0Monceau<\/a> Park\u00a0(underground line 2, stop Monceau<\/em>) extending in the 17th<\/sup> and the 8th<\/sup> arrondissement.\u00a0Surrounded by sumptuous private mansions, this green space is without a doubt the most privileged of the capital.\u00a0Established in the 18th<\/sup> century, it overflows with buildings ranging from the Egyptian pyramid to the Venetian bridge. Then, it has been transformed into an English garden (thus more asymmetrical), a look that still remains.<\/p>\n

The Parisians frequent the park a lot during the summer but, even on busy days, it is quite extensive so that you can find a place in the shade or in the sun without any problem.\u00a0Peaceful and shady, it is the ideal place for a moment of relaxation, a picnic among friends, or even, for the sportsmen, a jog in the shadows of the trees.<\/p>\n

\n

In an atmosphere a little more lively, rather go for a walk on the side near the 15th<\/sup> district at\u00a0Andr\u00e9 Citro\u00ebn<\/a> Parc\u00a0(RER C: Stop Pont du Garigliano<\/em>\u00a0or line 8 of the underground: stations\u00a0Balard<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Lourmel<\/em>\u00a0). This post-modern adaptation of the French-style garden is very lively and extends over more than 14 hectares.\u00a0So enjoy the large areas to relieve stress, play Frisbee or play soccer.\u00a0Between two activities, you can rest for a few moments on one of sun loungers intended for the visitors and even devour one of the novels from the park\u2019s library.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The helium balloon\u00a0Eutelsat,<\/em>\u00a0which rises in the middle of the park, will take you 150 meters above ground and will offer stunning views of the capital.\u00a0You will also be able to admire the many exotic plants that inhabit the flora of this garden that is very Parisian.<\/p>\n

More childish, the\u00a0Jardin d’Acclimatation<\/a>\u00a0in Neuilly sur Seine (line 1 of the underground: stop Sablons<\/em>) and its retro atmosphere will surely appeal to you. Founded in 1860, this site results from the meeting of an urban planning project (the one of Haussmann) and a scientific ambition (the one of Saint Hilaire, who wanted to create a zoological park).\u00a0Nowadays, the zoological vocation has somewhat disappeared since there is only a small zoo, but other activities will be available to you: you can rent a remote-controlled boat and practice in the pond or enjoy the mini fairground with children.\u00a0You will also have the opportunity to try mini golf in this park with a slightly kitschy atmosphere that will appeal to the inner child. However, be careful, as the entrance is paying (about 5 euros), the same for each attraction (2.70 euros).<\/p>\n

For nature lovers who hate to remain motionless, we suggest you go for a ride on the\u00a0Coul\u00e9e Verte<\/strong>\u00a0or “Planted Promenade” overlooking the Arts Viaduct of the Daumesnil avenue and following the former aerial railway lines that used to link Bastille to Vincennes and who made its last trip in 1969. The 5 kilometres of wooded lane that replaced the rails were unveiled in 1988. Lined with many trees and lush vegetation that brims over the surrounding walls, it is the ideal walk to take a deep breath of fresh air in the very heart of the capital by bike, by rollerblade, by skateboard or even on foot.<\/p>\n

\"versailles\"<\/p>\n

If you have decided to think on a big scale, we recommend you make the trip to\u00a0Versailles<\/strong>\u00a0(RER C: station\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau de<\/em> Versailles<\/em>) to admire the Castle<\/a>\u00a0but especially its gardens, very pleasant in summer. Given the abundance and total absence of shade in the gardens, we advise you to go there in the morning to avoid sunstroke!\u00a0Basically, Versailles was a very extensive park where the court and the whole of French high society strolled regularly.\u00a0When Louis XIV decided to build his castle there, he undertook to redesign the park, which he transformed into French gardens, very tidy and symmetrical.<\/p>\n

In summer, you can enjoy the many fountains, wooded paths and the many sculptures that decorate the gardens of the often-called Sun King.\u00a0It\u2019s also at that time that you can attend the\u00a0Great\u00a0Musical Waters<\/a> show in the Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles, a show that pays tribute to the ideal route gardens according to Louis XIV or attend the night show of\u00a0Grandes Eaux Nocturnes<\/a>, a show that highlights the many fountain gardens to make them shine like a star.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer Season and Music Festivals<\/h2>\n

During the summer season, Paris is alive with music thanks to the numerous festivals and other street performances that settle down, for a season only, in the streets of the capital.\u00a0There will be something for all tastes and audiences!<\/p>\n

Let yourself be charmed by the many street musicians who inaugurate every year the beginning of the summer season at the summer solstice, which is also the\u00a0Music Festival\u00a0in France.\u00a0No year makes an exception to the rule and the Parisian population meets again every year in the hustle and bustle of the capital for a drink on the terrace or simply to stroll and to attend the numerous over-playful concerts, given by amateur or professional musicians on the sidewalk, or mini-festivals that last all day, as on the Place Denfert-Rochereau, where you canfind the most fashionable artists of the moment every June 21st<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Each year, the\u00a0Ministry of Culture<\/a>\u00a0uploads the program of this day like no other so that you can choose where to go depending on the kind of music you want to hear. We advise you, however, to have a preference for the nonchalance and to stroll in the streets of Paris, and there is nothing better than this to make great encounters and beautiful musical discoveries!<\/p>\n

On exceptional days, exceptional mobilization: thus, 6 subway lines are opened all night from 21st<\/sup> to 22th<\/sup> June, including some of the main stations remain opened to allow night owls to return home.<\/p>\n

As every year for 6 years, for jazz lovers, the date is set to\u00a0Defense Jazz Festival<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Based in the Defense square (line 1 of the underground: station Esplanade de la D\u00e9fense, RER A: station\u00a0La D\u00e9fense<\/em>), the\u00a0festival<\/a> usually\u00a0extends an entire week, from the very end of June (29th<\/sup> June to July 6th<\/sup> for the year 2014).\u00a0The free concerts take place in the evening during the weekend and in the middle of the day (usually around midday) during the week to allow the many Parisians who work in the towers of La D\u00e9fense to enjoy a musical lunch break. Right from the beginning, the tone is set with a very jazzy program that nevertheless diversifies with some artists more soul and “world music.”\u00a0The atmosphere is relaxed and festive, even during lunch break!<\/p>\n

Closer to the centre of Paris, you will find young artists in pop, rock or electro style with the\u00a0Festival Soir d\u2019Et\u00e9<\/strong>\u00a0that will take place for a week in early July on the place of Republique (lines 3, 5, 8, 9 and 11 of the underground: station\u00a0Republic<\/em>) in the heart of the 3rd<\/sup> Parisian arrondissement.<\/p>\n

Undoubtedly, the eclectic program\u00a0will allow you to discover new artists that thrill the international crowd.\u00a0The open-air concerts are all free and take place every day at 8pm.\u00a0Soir d\u2019Et\u00e9, <\/em>this very popular festival\u00a0that existed for 17 years, is very popular in Paris; if you want to be on the ground floor to see your favorite artists, we recommend you get there early!<\/p>\n

For the most dyed-in-the-wool festival-goers, there are also many more important festivals that usually take place in the suburbs near the capital.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, these outdoor festivals are paying but you will be able to camp on site (you were told that it was for the most dyed-in-the-wool!).\u00a0If you are not sensitive either to the dust or to the oppressive heat, go to Longchamp racecourse (line 10 of the underground: station\u00a0Porte d’Auteuil<\/em>), transformed for the occasion into a campsite\/giant concert hall every year during the last weekend of June for\u00a0Solidays<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The numerous scenes give way to a very varied program which has nothing to be ashamed of in comparison to the biggest musical festivals of the world.\u00a0But, it’s not just about music at Solidays.\u00a0Launched in 1999, the theme of the festival is prevention and the fight against AIDS.\u00a0The benefits generated by this event are all donated to associations fighting against AIDS.\u00a0Many stands put at the disposal of the festival goers make them aware of the disease and do real prevention work, especially among the young people who frequent this festival assiduously.\u00a0Other activities are also offered to festival-goers, such as bungee jumping and art exhibitions, and they can also discover the cooking of different countries thanks to the numerous stands present on the racecourse.<\/p>\n

\"Rock

At the end of the summer, you can enjoy the more rock program of the festival Rock En Seine<\/a>,\u00a0which takes place every year during the last weekend of August in the national domain of Saint Cloud (line 10 of the underground: station\u00a0Pont de Saint Cloud<\/em>\u00a0).\u00a0You will also be able to camp on the spot.\u00a0This time again: three days of celebration, entertainment, culture and, above all, music. So let yourself be tempted by the biggest names of international rock that will parade on the big stage of the festival, or discover the new ones who will try to make a name on the more modest stages.<\/p>\n

The prices for the two festivals range from 29 euros for the one-day pass to the Solidays (39 euros for the 3-day pass and 15 euros more for the camping) and up to 119 euros for the 3-day Rock en Seine pass.<\/p>\n

For the Nostalgic of the Beach<\/h2>\n

As you will have understood, summer activities are not lacking in Paris, but for the most nostalgic we offer you a selection of activities that smell good. The hot sand will help you to be ready for the beach or to do without it this year!<\/p>\n

Paris Plage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Organized since 2002 by the city of Paris, this summer operation is very popular in the eyes of the Parisians in lack of fine sand. Considering the growing success of Paris Plage<\/a>, the capital now transforms every year the Seine\u2019s banks for the biggest\u00a0pleasure\u00a0of young and elder.<\/p>\n

Between mid-July and mid-August, on the banks Georges Pompidou and around the Bassin de la Villette, one would almost believe it: warm sand, deck chair, summer brouhaha, singing gulls … The beach settles in Paris in the middle of the summer to allow all those who do not go on holiday to enjoy all the same a moment of relaxation in the capital.\u00a0In addition to the tons of sand poured on the cobblestones, the city also organizes many activities that would make the most beautiful seaside resorts green with envy.<\/p>\n

With family or friends, you can enjoy sports activities (initiation to tai chi, rowing, kayaking, and other aquatic activities …), cultural (temporary art exhibitions are often installed on the banks of the Seine between the deck chairs and a mini-library is available to the holiday-makers of the day) or simply basking in the sun on the numerous ottomans and other deck chairs installed on the sand while savouring an ice cream or a cold drink, sold in the numerous stalls on the beach.\u00a0A “ludoplage” is organized for the children, as well as a track of electric kart in the basin of the Villette.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the different facilities put in place to connect the different Parisian beaches, you will also be able to simply recharge your batteries by walking, shoes in hand, in the warm sand installed on the banks for the occasion.\u00a0The two sites of Paris beach are indeed in the most beautiful districts of Paris, and from the banks you will have views of the buildings of the Latin Quarter and Notre Dame.\u00a0At the Bassin de la Villette, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful shady canals, where it is particularly pleasant to stroll in the summer.\u00a0All activities are free and open to all, which explains the crowd, especially during the weekends.\u00a0We advise you to go there rather during the week and to prefer the morning or the evening in order to avoid a fight for a place on a deck chair.<\/p>\n

For an atmosphere less lazy and more festive, go to\u00a0the beach Glazart<\/a>\u00a0for an extraordinary musical festival in the heart of the Parisian summer.<\/p>\n

A stone’s throw from the Porte de la Villette, the former bus station has been transformed into a concert hall and club some fifteen years ago.\u00a0When the sunny days show up, the atmosphere of the establishment changes completely and the Glazart turns into a huge musical beach.\u00a0Specializing in contemporary electronic music, this temple of the multidisciplinary approach of the music keeps this very festive atmosphere, but this time you can enjoy the music while lounging on deckchairs installed on the sand that covers the entire Glazart.<\/p>\n

Placed under the label of the relaxation, this XXL event takes place from mid-June to mid-August in the 19th district of the capital.\u00a0You will be able to enjoy free concerts, techno\/house days, afterworks, showcases, puce rock music and other animations that will be organized throughout the summer without interruption.\u00a0You can also have a drink in the LaPlage pub or eat a snack while enjoying the many food trucks at Glazart.<\/p>\n
