Plages Urbaines: USA Photo Exhibition

This summer, the banks of the Seine transform into a celebration of American beach culture with "Plages Urbaines: USA," a free outdoor photography exhibition presented by National Geographic. The display captures the unique energy of urban beaches across the United States, from the iconic shores of Coney Island and Malibu to the lakeside volleyball courts of Chicago and the vibrant coastlines of Miami, California, and Hawaii.

Visitors can stroll along the Parc Rives de Seine and immerse themselves in images that explore the boundary between city and ocean. The photographs highlight how American metropolises have embraced their waterfronts as spaces of freedom, leisure, and social connection. Expect scenes of lifeguards, beachgoers, and the lively atmosphere that defines these urban coastal spots.

Part of the broader "Paris en Seine 2026" and "USA 250" programs, this exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience American seaside culture without leaving Paris. It's a perfect outing for photography enthusiasts, families, and anyone curious about the intersection of urban life and natural landscapes.
