The city seaside?

From a tourist perspective - you are lucky enough just to be a resident of inner city Paris.. but now these lucky devils get the beach side too!
August is a holiday month for Paris, and well.. for Europe too I guess. While some are lucky enough to get away to the seaside, others must stay and battle through the tourist occupied scramble. Paris thought, if you can't leave, we'll bring the beach to you. Every July and August they lay out 180 tonnes of sand on the river front starting at Pont Neuf.

This is the over bridge looking down. Close your eyes and you are at the sea.

If we zoom into that picture - we can pin point one guy who is having fun with his spray bottle, cooling him down while he battles 34degrees of burning sun.

If you get a little too toasty and forgot your own squeezy bottle, you can always take a mist shower just a bit down the strip.
