Category : Culture
In August 2025, Paris comes alive more than ever, offering the perfect balance of culture, leisure, and outdoor relaxation. Urban festivals, exceptional exhibitions, and a beachside vibe along the riverbanks – the capital pulses with the rhythm of summer.
From the Hôtel Olysée, located just steps from the Arc de Triomphe, enjoy privileged access to all the season’s highlights.
Summer Highlight: Paris Plages 2025
Until September, Paris transforms into a beach resort with Paris Plages, a summer must-see. Along the Parc Rives de Seine, the Bassin de la Villette, and the Canal Saint-Martin, deckchairs, parasols, and palm trees take over the quays.
On the agenda: outdoor fitness classes, pétanque matches, foosball, a swimming area, water activities, pop-up exhibitions, and free entertainment for all ages. Whether you're traveling as a couple, with family, or with friends, Paris Plages is an invitation to unwind… almost with your feet in the water, right in the heart of the city.
