Sunday Stroll: Paris-Plages - August, 2007

Every summer since 2002 the City of Paris has brought in sand, palm trees and deck chairs to place alongside the Seine so that those of its citizens who haven't gone on vacation can have a beachy experience.*

These photos were taken at the beginning of my first visit to Paris in 2007.

It was hot the day we visited the site and the mist machine set up at this location was very welcome.

 *But no swimming is allowed in the Seine because it's too polluted.
