Paris Plages: Summer Beach Fun at Bassin de la Villette

Paris Plages transforms the Bassin de la Villette into a summer playground for children aged 2 to 12. The centerpiece is a whimsical carousel inspired by Jules Verne, featuring fantastical animals, a space rocket, a lunar hot-air balloon, and a magical submarine. This free attraction runs daily from July 4 to August 30, 2026, offering a delightful escape for families in the heart of Paris.

The event is part of the larger Paris en Seine 2026 program and is organized by the Ville de Paris. Young visitors can enjoy the carousel with an accompanying adult for the smallest ones. The setting along the Quai de Loire provides a scenic backdrop for a memorable summer outing, blending imagination and outdoor fun in the city.
