Paris Sizzles with Summer Festivities, No Holiday Needed
Listeners, Paris this week is shimmering with summer magic and vibrant events—no holiday escape required. If you are in town this weekend, Paris Plages transforms the city’s riverbanks into beachfront bliss. Lounge on deckchairs beneath palm trees, dip into open-air swimming zones—yes, right in the Seine for the first time in a century—and soak up the Brazilian atmosphere with music, volleyball, dance, and free family activities. These pop-up beaches line the Seine, Canal Saint-Martin, and Bassin de la Villette, and you will find it absolutely buzzing, totally free, and the perfect hangout for anyone in search of aquatic adventure or a chilled social vibe, as noted by Secrets of Paris and Paris Résidences James Joyce.
When the sun sets, the Parc de la Villette hosts the Cinéma en Plein Air open-air cinema festival, featuring two free films nightly. Arrive early at Prairie du Triangle to claim your picnic spot under the stars, and bring a blanket and your favorite Parisian snacks. Entertainment doesn’t stop there—throughout August, the Fête des Tuileries fills the Tuileries Gardens with a Ferris wheel, fun houses, rides, games, and all the cotton candy you can eat, open from 11am to nearly midnight every day, as reported by Paris Discovery Guide.
For the culture lovers, the Louvre presents a unique showcase pairing rare antiquities loaned from the Metropolitan Museum of Art with masterpieces from its own collections, running through late September. Art on the water? Check out Fluctuart, a floating urban art center anchored by Port des Invalides, featuring legendary names like Banksy and Shepard Fairey, and completely free to visit.
This week also offers a quiet escape into art history at the Église Saint-Sulpice, where visitors can admire Delacroix’s original works without a ticket, as revealed by Paris Secret. If you crave a green oasis, unwind in the hidden tea room at 2 Rue Louis Boilly, nestled in a lush museum garden—open 11am to 5pm, Tuesday to Sunday, until the end of September.
For something more active, join Eté du Canal’s festive finale along the Canal de l’Ourcq, where themed cruises, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, and waterside workshops make for an exciting addition to your Parisian weekend.
Music fans, circle the Jazz Festival at Parc Floral, classical nights at Arènes Lyriques, and anticipate the grand Rock en Seine festival upcoming at the end of August, with names like Chappell Roan and London Grammar lighting up the bill.
Finally, if you want a Parisian feast, many of the city’s beloved restaurants stay open all August, so it’s prime time for relaxed dining in quiet streets or lively terraces.
