Paris in the summer is a city that breathes to the rhythm of the sun, outdoor events, and a relaxed vibe. If you're staying in the capital during July and August or looking for ideas to spice up your summer nights, we've picked out 4 activities to boost your summer 2025.

Enjoying the grand return of Paris Plage

Launched in 2002, Paris Plage returns each summer to transform the banks of the Seine into a real urban beach resort. In 2025, the event promises even more activities, relaxation areas, and free activities for both young and old.

Temporary beaches right in the heart of Paris

Every year, the quays on the right bank, from the park Rives de Seine to La Villette, are transformed. Lounge chairs, umbrellas, palm trees, and mist sprayers create a summer atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The 2025 edition focuses on comfort with more shaded areas, reading zones managed by the libraries of the City of Paris, and even a daily musical program.

Sporting and fun activities for everyone

Besides relaxation, Paris Plage offers a wide range of sports activities: beach volleyball, giant foosball, zip-lining, paddleboarding, and even yoga by the water. Workshops for kids (painting, gardening, storytelling) also fill the day.

Cooling off in air-conditioned karaoke & quiz rooms

When the sun beats down on the Parisian pavements, there's nothing better than escaping to a cool, welcoming, and festive place. Just steps from the Bonne Nouvelle Metro, KaraFun Paris is the perfect spot 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 real bathroom diva. Each room, with its carefully crafted and immersive atmosphere, can accommodate 3 to 25 people depending on your wishes. The equipment is worthy of a real studio: wireless microphones, giant screens, light shows, disco balls, and smoke machines.

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... Something to satisfy all tastes, even the most eclectic ones!

A fresh and fun experience to enjoy with friends, colleagues, or family

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

Every summer, the Tuileries Garden is more than just a peaceful place for a stroll: it transforms into a real playground for all ages with the famous Tuileries Fair. Located right in the heart of Paris, just steps from the Louvre, this family-friendly fair blends tradition and modernity to offer pure enjoyment to all visitors.

Activities for the whole family

It's one of the few Parisian fairs that's open-air and free to enter. As you enter, 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 attractions.

An ideal outing for your summer evenings

Open all summer until late at night, the Tuileries Fair is the perfect spot to extend your days with family or friends, after a museum visit or a nap on the lawns. As night falls, the lights of the rides illuminate the garden, creating a unique fairy-tale ambiance in the heart of the city.

Extending summer evenings with outdoor cinema

As evening comes, the magic of summer continues with outdoor cinema screenings popping up all over Paris. Between lawns, terraces, or inner courtyards, the city turns into a 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 La Villette park welcomes thousands of spectators on its lawns. Everyone brings their blanket, picnic, and sometimes even a deckchair to enjoy a film projected on a 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 this for free!

Other venues to explore:

• Cinéma Paradiso at the Palais Royal offers screenings in a chic and intimate setting.
• The Swedish Institute in the Marais hosts "cine deckchair" nights in its courtyard.
• La REcyclerie in northern Paris combines ecology, a bar, and terrace screenings.

Some sessions are accompanied by food trucks, concerts, or debates, offering a complete, original, and inclusive cultural experience.

Summer in Paris is anything but dull. Between free events, cultural activities, and unique experiences, the city knows how to charm its residents and visitors. Whether you're into urban beaches, friendly competitions indoors, music fans, or just want to relax, there are a thousand ways to enjoy the summer season without leaving the city.
