Beaches in the city?
ln summer Paris is hotter and more humid than many other european cities ln July and august Parisians leave their city and go to the beach on vacation But many have to stay behind The mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoe wanted to give those people a better quality of life during the summer So he transformed the center of the city into a beach.
The beach is located on the bank of the Seine River in the heart of the city The area has lots of sand umbrellas deck chairs and two enormous swimming pools there are showers and there's even3 million people used the beach "l can work and enjoy the sunshine Also it is cheaper and more convenient than going to a crowded placa" said Other European capitals copied the idea Budapest Prague Brussels Berlin and Milan The beach in Budapest is located on the banks of the Danube River in Prague on the Vltava River in Brussels opposite a canal in Berlin along the Spree River and in Milan across from the Sempione Park. Sometimes what seems a crazy idea can make thousands of people very happy The sea is missing in these beaches in the city but who cares
