Summer 2008 Paris Highlights for Summer
In this feature we bring you our top picks from the many great things you can see and do in Paris this summer.
Paris Jazz Festival, June 6 2009 to July 26 2009 at Parc Floral de Paris, Bois de Vincennes, 12th district A firmly-established tradition on the jazz scene, this vibrant festival takes place in the Parc Floral, the capital’s beautiful botanic garden. As always, the event will showcase both established jazz legends and new talent who play each weekend to enthusiastic crowds. For seating, head to the Espace Delta or, alternatively, you could pack a picnic and a bottle of your favourite wine and relax by the lake – the perfect way to spend a Parisian summer evening.
Le Tour de France, Sunday July 26 2009 at Avenue des Champs-Elysées, 8th district No-one celebrates cycling quite like the French, so for the ultimate atmosphere why not head to Paris and join the crowds to watch the riders arrive in the capital in the thrilling final stage of the Tour de France. Experience the excitement of watching the winner cross the finishing line on the Champs-Elysées. A truly memorable experience.
Paris-Plage, starts on or around July 20 2009 from Pont des Arts to Pont de Sully Now in its eighth successful year, Paris-Plage sees sandy beaches, huts, deckchairs, hammocks and palm trees lining the river Seine and roadways on the right bank blocked off for four glorious weeks. An absolute must for everyone who wants to see how a touch of the seaside brings even more charm and fun to this beautiful city.
