Paris Opera High Culture in the City of Light

Place de l'Opéra Place de l'Opéra Paris, Île-de-France +33 0 1 40 01 17 89 http://www.opera-de-paris.fr/

The Paris Opera is a world-class venue that offers an annual calendar of cultural events including operas and ballets. A typical year will feature "The Damnation of Faust", "The Bat" or "Othello", and programs of the Bolshoi Ballet. Each year there is an elaborate New Year's Eve ballet that includes some of the greatest classics of the art. This elaborate offering is the ultimate high end of international culture and is a great way to celebrate the New Year. Review © 2007, Wcities

Paris Plages Sandy Beach along the Seine

Quai de l'Hôtel de Ville Quai François Mauriac Paris 75004 http://www.paris.fr/portail/Cu...

Every summer since 2002, the beach comes to Paris to refresh Parisians who stay at home on the summer or tourists visiting the Capital. Two thousand tons of sand and dozens of palm trees are brought alongside the Seine River, attracting millions of visitors. To sunbathe, about 400 deckchairs are available and if you get hot, go to the swimming pool before relaxing in the Jacuzzi next to it. Sport lovers will enjoy Paris beach since they can climb, play beach volley or tennis or jump on the trampoline, go roller-skating and more. At night enjoy listening to a concert while having an ice cream. Several restaurants and bars are located on both sites. The first site is located on the right bank of the Seine River between Quai du Louvre and Quai des célestins. The second one goes from Quai de la gare to Quai François Mauriac on the left Bank. A fluvial shuttle commutes between the two sites. Review © 2007, Wcities
