Parades, Man-Made Beaches, and Light Shows: The Best Events of the Summer in Paris
There are three things you need to know about visiting Paris in the summer: It’s hot, it’s mostly devoid of locals who swap the city for the coast (which is not necessarily a bad thing for visitors), and it’s packed with great things to do. Of course, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré Coeur, and the many museums remain in their place for you to check them out, but there’s a lot more to see and do outside of the most famous attractions: music festivals, world-famous bike races, grand military displays, and even temporary, man-made beaches to perfect your tan along the river Seine.
