Paris Plage 2010
Wednesday, August 04, 2010 Publié par Eric Tenin
Here is my first Paris Plage photo of the season! And I did not take it along the Seine, as I usually do, but along the Quai de Seine (which despite its name is not located along the Seine, but along the Bassin de la Villette, in the 10th). Same principal though: sand, beach games, sprinkles, bars, pétanque... (have a look at what they have to offer on the site, it's also in English). It looks like a real beach, even though it's not a real beach. But it's still nice, especially when the weather is perfect, like it was today.

Love it, love it love it! It just screams summer.

I am so happy for you & your fellow Parisians to be able to enjoy this once again.
This looks lovely.

I love the colours in this photo!

Me too, I love the colours. There is a sense of cheerfulness in it. That makes me H.A.P.P.Y.

Wow, beautiful, colorful, invitating and relaxing post!
This could have perfectly worked for the last theme month : bright colors, indeed!
Meeting there some friends like you would be simply great : just talking, having fun until sunset...
Even the green and yellow plastic garbage that are almost invisible in the photo make the shot bright!
Cheers Keats!

I look at this and see ...
GREAT NAIL POLISH COLORS!
A fantastic line of summer shades for finger and toe nails.
Maybe it's because I've had nail polish on my brain.
So I love this photo for the colors. Very vibrant and summery!

Fabulous shot, Eric! The whole idea of Paris Plage is sheer genius to begin with—and then it's done with such flair. No wonder we all love Paris!

Interesting shot, but I especially liked the link to a former post below about how the Metro tickets had changed!! I had forgotten all about that and enjoyed reading an older post!! See the benefits of a new and improved PDP!!! LOL!!!

Happy Paris Plage! I'm sure it's welcomed by many surviving the heat. So, Eric, I'm away from PDP for a few weeks or so and what happens? A bus takes a swim in the Seine and the graffiti artists are busy gluing their molded countenances on buildings and Piccasoing up the rues. Hey, I'm just catching up with the previous photos, but I know I can count on you to deliver the latest in Paree. Outstanding as always, Eric! Hope you're having a splendid summer.

Pretty, pretty colors!
I will never cease being amazed by the entire concept of your Paris Plage.

Brilliant shot, Eric. Perfect for a summer wallpaper! Thanks!
Did you hear that after the bus last week, a barge full of gravels sank in the Seine yesterday?
Navigation was closed between Pont de l'Alma and Pont d'Iéna... Tant pis pour les Bateaux-Mouches ;-)

Joli!

I'll have one in every colour, please! Gorgeous, Eric.
August 4, 2010 12:01:00 PM GMT+02:00
@Thib. I did, but I did not have the strength to go there again!
August 4, 2010 2:01:00 PM GMT+02:00
Eric, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that photo! It is so summery, colourful, cool, and as others said before, I want one in every colour of the rainbow!!! Today it is 'couvert' again, but I can take the blame; I put my washing out and it might well 'piss' on it later on.... So, there - but soon (maybe weekend) we shall visit les plages too.... yupeeh!
Thank you for this glorious summer greeting!
Gros bisous, Kiki

@Thib..... no I didn't either....
Good grief; the tourists won't be happy about this - never mind the Parisiens... :)
August 4, 2010 2:44:00 PM GMT+02:00
Oh, this is beautiful. I love those colors! I would like a chair in each of them for my front yard, please. :) Enjoy the plage!

I love love love sharing this fun and just wish everything could be always as colorful as at Eric's home ;-)

What a beautiful shock of colour Eric. Paris Plage is such a great idea!
August 4, 2010 4:26:00 PM GMT+02:00
Perfectly composed Eric!

Seems like a real beach but ot´s not a real beach......maybe that´s why SOME people run to Florida by this time of the year...?!

Makes me want strawberry caparinha, a good book and a spot under an umbrella so my fair Irish skin doesn't fry!

Oh, you wouldn't believe what - just the day before this post I bought the very same table (as the purple one on the photo) for my balcony! And it has the exact same matching chairs as on this photo! Mine is in lemon green colour! :D
