Paris in the summer is a city that thrives with the sun, outdoor events, and a relaxed vibe. If you're sticking around the capital during July and August or seeking ideas to liven up your summer evenings, we've picked out 4 activities to boost your summer 2025.

Enjoy the grand return of Paris Plage

Since its debut in 2002, Paris Plage returns every summer to transform the banks of the Seine into a true urban beach resort. In 2025, the event promises even more activities, relaxation areas, and free activities for all ages.

Pop-up beaches in the heart of Paris

Every year, the right bank quays, from the Rives de Seine Park to La Villette, undergo a transformation. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, palm trees, and misters create a summery atmosphere perfect for relaxation. This 2025 edition focuses on comfort with more shaded areas, reading zones managed by the City of Paris libraries, and even daily musical programming.

Sporty and fun activities for everyone

Beyond relaxation, Paris Plage offers a wide range of sporting activities: beach volleyball, giant foosball, zip-lining, paddle boarding, and even yoga by the water. Workshops for kids (painting, gardening, storytelling) are also available throughout the day.

Cool off in air-conditioned karaoke & quiz rooms

When the sun beats down on Parisian cobblestones, there's nothing better than retreating to a cool, welcoming, and festive spot. Just steps from the Bonne Nouvelle Metro, KaraFun Paris is the perfect place to relax and have fun, away from the summer heat.

Air-conditioned karaoke boxes for endless singing

KaraFun Paris offers a unique concept of fully air-conditioned karaoke boxes accessible to everyone, whether you're a casual singer or a true shower diva.

The best part? A catalog with thousands of songs and playlists available in over 30 languages and in all styles: French variety, international pop, rock, rap, musicals, K-pop... There's something for every taste, even the most eclectic!

Have fun at the Tuileries Fair: the summer event not to miss

Every summer, the Jardin des Tuileries transforms from a peaceful promenade into a true playground for all ages with the famous Tuileries Fair. Located in the heart of Paris, just steps from the Louvre, this family-friendly funfair combines tradition and modernity to provide pure enjoyment for all visitors.

Activities for the whole family

It's one of the few Parisian funfairs under the open sky with free access. Right at the entrance, the smells of churros, candy apples, and cotton candy transport you to a delightfully nostalgic atmosphere. There are over 60 attractions for all ages: from classic bumper cars and shooting stands to roller coasters and thrilling new rides.

An ideal outing for your summer evenings

Open all summer long until late at night, the Tuileries Fair is perfect for extending your days with family or friends, after a museum visit or a nap on the lawns. At nightfall, the ride lights illuminate the garden, creating a unique magical atmosphere in the heart of the city.

Extend summer evenings with outdoor cinema

As night falls, the magic of summer continues with outdoor cinema screenings that pop up all over Paris. Between lawns, terraces, or inner courtyards, the city turns into an open-air cinema under the stars every night.

The return of the La Villette Open-Air Film Festival

It's undoubtedly the most iconic summer festival. Every summer, the Parc de la Villette welcomes thousands of spectators on its lawns. Each person brings a blanket, a picnic, sometimes even a deck chair, to enjoy a movie on the big screen in a friendly atmosphere.

The 2025 edition promises an eclectic lineup, with cinema classics, animated films, romantic comedies, and thought-provoking documentaries. All of this for free!
