Several places in and around Paris dress themselves up (or down) for summer, putting on a series of special events. Here are some of the most interesting:

La Bellevilloise: La Grande Prairie is a 500m2 loft with artificial grass, fake flowers and deckchairs, but also a cool venue with cocktail bars, massages and events scheduled throughout the summer.

Le Petit Bain: The newest arrival alongside the Seine, a floating wooden box offering a casual restaurant and Latino themed music throughout the summer.

Les vendredis de Longchamp: Each Friday evening, the Longchamp racecourse turns into a spectacular outdoor nightclub!
