Plage : 20 july - 20 august 2006
Since five years, Paris has obtained a vacation mood in the middle of
the summer with the operation Paris Plage which transforms part of the
banks of the Seine into ocean walk. Sand covers the roadway, palm trees
open out, parasols flower, the brumisators sprinkle their micro-rain, a
pretty grass accommodates towels and deck chairs, the piers are
metamorphosed in small "croisette". In addition to the three kilometers
arranged last year on right bank, this new edition colonizes one
kilometer on the left bank around the pretty floating swimming pool
moored to the port de la Gare, near the footbridge Simone de
Beauvoir. This year is placed under the decorative sign of French
Polynesia. The new swimming pool will be one of the most appreciated
attractions. Measuring 25 meter length, it can accommodate 375 people
under her interior and external solarium. It will cost 5 euros
for the first 2 hours then 5 euros per hour additional. Close of the
swimming pool, a sports ground is built for the occasion. One will play
there the speed-ball and petaca, sport Brazilian. For the amateurs of
manual work, the Museum of the Post office proposes a workshop of Email
Art on the site. 5000 charts will be placed at the disposal of the
young artists then obliterated on the spot. As always, many fountains
with drinking water will be strewed to refresh the holiday makers.
