Paris Plages 2026: Free activities, sports and entertainment at the Parc des Rives de Seine all summer long

Not your typical outing, Paris Plage awaits you on the Berges de Seine from July 4 to September 30, 2026. A delayed opening compared to the beaches at the Bassin de la Villette and at the Canal Saint-Martin, which open on July 6 on their side.

That means we’ll be able to take over the Rives de Seine beach after the Olympic opening ceremony. What does this new summer season have in store for central Paris? We’ve got you covered!
