This area is generally the most popular and crowded so make sure you get there early if you want a sunbed: the offer of sun loungers is actually large but the people are huge. If the Parc Rives de Seine it’s too crowded for you, then you might want to try the area in between Solférino And Invalides on the left bank, in 7th arrondissement of Paris: it is called Berges de Seine and extends from the area of the Eiffel Tower until the Musée d’Orsay. Here too there are deck chairs and sun loungers as well as picnic tables and ice cream stalls that go all the way up to Pont Alexandre III. Picnic tables are also perfect for those who want to save and enjoy the lively atmosphere: just stop in one crêperie local or even bring the purchased food market but in general the prices of the stalls near the beach Paris they are not excessive even if they vary a little in relation to the area.
