If you?re one of the few who will be in Paris this summer during the month of August (i?m here too!) well you?ll be certainly pleased with the super sunny weather and even though many places are on “cong? annuel” aka summer vacations and closed until the 23rd at least, ?we?ve made a list of the places open during the month that will be great for you to discover the city (no tourist traps guaranteed!), only the best of the tried and tested place to eat, drink and go out.?
The open air cinema has been cancelled due to security concerns, but Paris Plages is in full swing – along the Berges de Seine and Canal de L?ourcq – take the metro to Hotel de Ville (line 1) or to Jaures (Line 2).?
Enjoy many activities for the kids – and big kids at heart such as renting a boat or enjoying the make shift beach with ice cream stands, swing dancing groups, people playing patentee or just lounging in the sun.
