Paris plage 2006
Tuesday, July 25, 2006 Posted by Eric
You think I took this photo on the French Riviera last week end? All wrong, I took it in the middle of Paris on the embankment where, for the 5th time now, they have turned the expressway into a giant beach, with real sand! If you want to have a more global idea go back to my last year's posts, between July 21 and July 24. With the current heat wave, Paris Plage is fully packed, but still it's really fun. If you want to see a little video (in French) click here and select "A la Une" (the yellow tab on the upper left corner of the little screen.)
Put this photo on a card, mug, t-shirt, bag and more here!

Excellent photo Eric! How did you get so close without getting punched by this guy? Speaking of which, it looks like Darrell from Miami!
July 25, 2006 1:47:00 AM GMT+02:00
It's not a bad looking set of toes, actually.
July 25, 2006 1:57:00 AM GMT+02:00
I love it!!! Exactly what you need to see in the middle of a work day - on a Monday, no less! - stuck in a high rise ...
Very cool shot. Definitely one of my favorites!
July 25, 2006 2:15:00 AM GMT+02:00
Haha! That's so funny! I never would have thought to take a snapshot of that. It's great. :)
July 25, 2006 2:20:00 AM GMT+02:00
ben pour ma part il y a Bastia Plage et ca je ne l'echangerais jamais contre un Paris plage...

... ceux qui veulent venir il y aura du vin, de la charcuterie, du fromage ...
Tiens, ça me rappelle quelque chose, mais quoi?
;)
July 25, 2006 2:54:00 AM GMT+02:00
For all the people who think that with digital photography you loose the depth of field, this is a text book illustration that you do not!
Great job Eric and an fun photo too.
July 25, 2006 5:13:00 AM GMT+02:00
Thanks for the movie link too - looks like a lot of fun
July 25, 2006 6:16:00 AM GMT+02:00
Great pix again! I had to link to it :)
Enjoy the beach and keep cool.
July 25, 2006 6:22:00 AM GMT+02:00
Great Photo. Did that guy know you were taking his picture or did you just sneak the shot?
July 25, 2006 6:29:00 AM GMT+02:00
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed home,
This little piggy had roast beef,
This little piggy had none,
And this little piggy cried,
"Wee, wee, wee."
All the way home.

Ok, I just finished the reading of the previous comment ... and I can add my comment.
It is one of the most humorous photos I have ever seen. This is a pure talent, Eric. Thank you!
July 25, 2006 10:36:00 AM GMT+02:00
... ceux qui veulent venir il y aura du vin, de la charcuterie, du fromage ...
Ouais, enfn, nous à Paris, les "bouffeurs de saucisse, c'est pas trop notre truc" !
ha ha !
Ceci étant dit, par cette chaleur, on se sentirait bien mieux en Corse qu'à Paris, et plutôt du côté des aiguilles de Bavella que sur la côte !
July 25, 2006 11:40:00 AM GMT+02:00
haha Michael has another song for this post!
Eric, that's a humorous way to show the Paris Plage. Actually it was covered in TV news here which showed a swimming pool as well.
July 25, 2006 11:44:00 AM GMT+02:00
Marvellous!!
July 25, 2006 2:36:00 PM GMT+02:00
5 years on - what a success story! Such an innovation! Do any Parigots now stay at home instead of packing into legrand départ du mois d'août like sardines? Good job the toes guy was having a siesta! E c'est plus qu'évident que Terra Vecchia n'en a pas besoin, comme moi au Portugal Sur Mer!
July 25, 2006 2:55:00 PM GMT+02:00
What Michael! No link to a musical rendition of that lovely song?!!?
This person, whoever he is, has great toes!
July 25, 2006 3:55:00 PM GMT+02:00
Yeah, this paris plage is really a great idea. I am so amazed every year of this fabulous idea. Of course it's not a real beach, but still. To delanoe, i say "well done" !!
Nasty gg: for your record, i heard that paris mayor is actually quite a gourmet of saucisses...
Eric, and what about the Polish tents that were burning ? did you get any picture of that ? could be pretty fun as well...
July 25, 2006 5:25:00 PM GMT+02:00
Hmm how many people expect Paris Hilton stuff when they come to your site?
Just curious :)
July 25, 2006 5:46:00 PM GMT+02:00
I think the polish had a great idea actually. You must have a marvelous view from the camping du "Quai Conti".
I actually would suggest to have tents on the Pont des arts. Isn't it the ultimate latest trend in Paris, to give back their town to the city inhabitants ?
Much nicer than the view from the camping of "Palavas les flots".
I myself decided that I would tonight sleep on the camping du Champ de Mars, as the camping du Canal Saint Martin was full for tonight (damn !).
July 25, 2006 6:39:00 PM GMT+02:00
Eric, I was just thinking the other night that Paris plage would be coming soon. Thanks!
July 25, 2006 7:07:00 PM GMT+02:00
Super, super photo, Eric! This so captures it all. Love the fine sand on toes slanted just so, and the "Dick Tracy" nose and glasses point of view.
LOL on Michael's bringing up "Piggies." Is there a French version of that nursery ryhme?
And camping on Champs du Mars? This sounds like a wonderful way to beat the heat, too.

July 25, 2006 7:21:00 PM GMT+02:00
How does one know if somebody has "great toes"?? As Gertrued Stein said, a toe is a toe...is a toe.
The last piggy must have been riding a bicycle in the Tour de...never mind.
Man, it's been hot here.
July 25, 2006 9:01:00 PM GMT+02:00
The toe is superbly taken (especially the sand, i agree with kim).
The guy however looks like kinda fat, doesnt he ?
July 25, 2006 9:25:00 PM GMT+02:00
Il est difficile d'aider les pays pauvres. Au Rwanda, les catholiques belges s'étaient cotisés pour offrir un taureau de race sensé fertiliser les vaches rwandaises qui donnent bien peu de lait. Le bestiau avait été trimballé en avion, bien sûr, au frais de la communauté belge. Mais elle a dù se contenter, pour vivre, de brouter, comme ses confrères du pays, de pauvres pâturages et de boire l'eau des marigots. Quinze jours après, bien sûr, la pauvre bête était morte.

July 25, 2006 9:29:00 PM GMT+02:00
Kim asked, "Is there a French version of that nursery rhyme?"
I'm not sure if it's an exact french rendition, but I think it has the same idea:
Cinq petits doigts qui s'ennuient
S'en vont en voyage
Cinq petits doigts qui s'ennuient
S'en vont cette nuit
Le plus gros part en camion
Le deuxième part en avion
Le troisième part en auto
Le quatrième en vélo
Le petit dernier est parti à pied

Do you know when the Paris Plage is going to be dismantled? I'm going to Paris at the end of September, and while I'm sure it will still be tres chaud, I have a feeling it's already going to be gone!
Erin
July 25, 2006 10:43:00 PM GMT+02:00
Ha ha, Hé hé...
Funny, and that saucisse story - lol
July 25, 2006 10:43:00 PM GMT+02:00
I must be really out of it, because I had no idea what Perfido and Fred_ganesh were talking about.
Apparently, the Paris police have begun dismantling tents for the poor throughout the city. They were mostly distributed by the Medecins du Monde (Doctors of the World) charity, but since they are viewed as embarrassing during tourist season (unlike the Paris Plage), they are being removed.
Did I get that right?
July 25, 2006 11:09:00 PM GMT+02:00
Exacto.
I can even tell you that this story is in the Sao Paulo daily newspaper...
They say that they were kicking the poor (mostly Polish emigrates with no visa) ouf of the Seine banks, now, just because they wanted the space to install paris plage.
In any case, the story about "tent camping" on the banks of the Seine is pretty appalling. I couldnt believe it when I saw it. Not digne at all. I hope they'll soon find a solution for these people.

> Michael. Well, the guy was sleeping so I don't know his name and I did not wake him up to ask him if he was OK with my taking a photo of his toe!
> Luggi. Well, his feet don't look 100% clean, but it's Paris plage, not Bora Bora!
> Tomate. Smack! Always a pleasure to make you happy.
> Khouansiva. Thanks. Well, you know, you're like walking down a site that has been shot from every angle so many times you have to come up with a funny idea.
> Terra Vecchia. Oui, bon évidemment paris Plage ça ne rivalise pas avec les plages de la Corse. Mais bon, on s'en contente !
> A photographer. Welcome back, it's been a while. You are right, but I have had to come very close to the guy's toe though. Otherwise there was no depth of field.
> La Frog. Thank you very much. For your visit and for the link.
> Natalie. I sneaked the shot but the girl next to me was hilarious when she saw me taking the pic.
> Philos. Sorry I removed the comment you're talking about because - after a quick Google translation, it appeared that it had really very little to do with this photo! thank you for your compliments ;)
> GG. Well, en Corse, il doit quand même faire très chaud.
> Lisi. Yes there is new swimming pool on the Seine, you're right. I tryed to photograph it put it's not pretty. I am surprised they had that on the news in Hong Kong though. That's cool!
> Ovelikios. Efkaristo !
> Nowhere man. Yeah yeah. OK, you have an ocean, big deal! LOL "Parigots" still leave the city between July 14 and August 31. Paris is empty at the moment, that is very cool.
> Elisabeth. Welcome back too! If I see him again I'll pass him the message (providing I can recognize him though!)
> Perfido. No I did not take a photo of the burning tents. I have tried to photogrpah these tents a couple of times but I have always made bad photos with them.
> Mike. Interesting question. Difficult to tell. Not that many according to the keywords people enter in Google or Yahoo before they land on my site (one day I will give you some examples). Besides, PDP deals with Paris Hilton too from time to time!
> Fred. Hum...
> Debs. Yep, every year after Bastille day. How is Megan by the way? (sorry, private message !)
> Kim. Thank you. Camping is not really camping, see Michael's comment above. I don't know about a French versioin to that song but there might be (it seems that Michael found one).
> Jeff. LOL. Very funny!
> Luderica. Well I don't know, I was concentrating on his toes!
> Jose Bove. Jose Bove reads my blog?! Quite unexpected! LOL
> Run around... Yes I know, it lasts untel August 20ish. So yes, when you come in September it will be gone. But I don't think it will be très chaud. Don't worry.
> Chris. Yeah, well...
> Michael. thanks to enlighten everybody on this tent story.
> Perfido. The Mayor of Paris says it has nothing to do with Paris Plage.
July 26, 2006 3:27:00 AM GMT+02:00
Eric, Megan is fine. Still looking for a "real" job. And mailing sand in envelopes. She is a Hallmark store's dream customer! Thanks again for the photos.

Next time aim for the nose hair Eric! LOL! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaad! ;-)
Another great shot, one where you don't mind the "graininess" huh? I swear, I can almost count the grains of sand on that big piggy!
And Eric, you never cease to amaze me...you replied to almost EVERYONE who commented!
You're a doll!
Au revoir!
:-)
July 26, 2006 5:56:00 PM GMT+02:00
yes, I saw in the news, nice girls playing voleyball so near to Eiffel tower. And did you upload pics from Louvre?
Greetings from Perú

As much as viagra has rescued the people from the cruel grip of erectile dysfunction it has also proved to be a curse to many because of wrong conception and wrong interpretation of its functioning. People buy viagra with the notion of having an extra erotic night without actually having the need to. Nowadays Viagra is also easily accessible and anyone can buy viagra online. In addition viagra online is more often than not cheap viagra i.e. a discounted version. People can easily get Viagra from the online pharmacies using wrong information. But in this way they will harm no one but their own selves, so it is always handy to have a clear conception of the drug one is taking.

Viagra is the world renowned medicine for erectile dysfunction and most men have forgotten they ever had a problem with erections after its use. Take it on empty stomach and it will work in 30 minutes. Erections can be achieved on stimulation.
February 16, 2010 5:03:00 PM GMT+01:00
Generic Cialis is used to increase blood flow to certain areas of the body, as a muscle relaxant and as a male impotence or erectile dysfunction treatment.

April 9, 2010 10:34:00 AM GMT+02:00
Generic Cialis is slightly different from the other erectile drugs available in the market as it may work up to 36 hrs after dosing. Generic Levitra orks along with sexual stimulation to help achieve an erection when taken 30 to 60 minutes before sexual activity.
April 21, 2010 7:05:00 PM GMT+02:00
Generic Viagra is used in the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction (impotence), but it is not a cure. Impotence can be caused by a number of factors, either physical or psychological. Viagra can help maintain an erection but it will not stimulate arousal.
