It is really nice to walk along the Seine, with a amazing beach decoration. In my Eres' article, I have written that you may be self-confident in swimsuit, but I do not suggest you to test my advise in Paris Plage. It takes place in the heart of Paris, so I suggest you to visit Paris Plage around 6.00pm (during sunny day, Paris Plage is too warm you will have the sun on your face and there is not lot place to hide from it)
