Is there a beach near to Paris?

Question

ive been but i am going again and want to no if there is anyway ov finding a sea side even if i have to travel into more ov france like a day trip

Answer 1

why not take a look at the map! its a long way to the sea and most of the day will be travelling why are you going there if you want a beach holiday or next time try a 2 centre holiday that way you can do both shopping and sun and sea !

Answer 2

Silly Question!!!

Deserves a silly answer, swim up the seine and you will find the Le Harve, from there you can find some beaches on the Channel.

But head south and you will reach eventually the Med and some really nice beaches.

Answer 3

Paris is inland, there is no beaches in the area. If you want, you can head up north towards Normandy at the English Channel. That would be the closest area to go to the beach.

That drive from Paris to Normandy beaches is around 3 hours or so, depending on the traffic heading out of Paris on the peripherique, which can be a pain in the ***!!!!

But that would be your best bet.  Or you can take the TGV down to Cote D'Azure if you want to do that.

Good luck and happy travels

Answer 5

no

can you not read a map

Answer 6

oui.

Answer 7

I depends on how you define "near". You could go to Le-Touquet Paris-Plage or Deauville perhaps. I'm guessing they're roughly a couple hours or so from Paris by train.

Answer 8

"ive been but i am going again" and you ask if there is a beach near Paris?

ROTFL

Ever look at a map?

Answer 9

It's a bit like asking: is there a beach near Birmingham

Answer 10

I think the Allies landed there in WW II.

Answer 11

there is a man made one on the river seine near to the bastilion. but it's only there for the summer. apart fron that the nearest is about 200 miles,

everyone that laughs take a trip up the river on a sight seeing tour and voila

(ª¿ª) smiling back at ya

Answer 12

You can get to the Normandy Coast in about 2 hours by train from Gare du Nord - that is the closest beach you'll find.

There is some very pretty countryside not far from Paris, though - Chantilly Forest is only 35kms away; Versailles is even closer.

Answer 13

Are you blonde ??

Answer 14

You must be american!

Answer 15

Look at a map. Paris is quite a long way from the sea.The nearest coast is round the Le Havre part of the English Channel .When you say a day out trip how far would you expect to go?. The distance from Paris to this part of the coast is about 130 miles or 211 kilometres.

Answer 16

Nope, the only CITY with a beach is Barcelona in Spain, paris is inland by a long way.

Answer 17

No it is well inland you can get a fast train to the coast but the best resorts are in the south and a very long way off.Paris is not really a destination for beach lovers.

Answer 18

Er No

Answer 19

oui !!! at least 200 km ...

Answer 20

Paris ,??? don't you see where is Paris ? so for help you there is no beach, no sea, no sand ... only  " La Seine " but it's a " fleuve " sorry I don't know how to translate it but If you want to swim  here it's dirty !!! because there is always some boat ... ship ...yeah !!!

Answer 21

Manmade beach 'Paris plage' has been made along the banks of the Seine. Paris is not on the coast!

Answer 22

Paris is 300 miles inland, I don't think you will find a beach near.

Answer 23

the only ones i know of are roughly 4 hours north of Paris look at a map

Answer 24

If there is no one

Do one

Answer 25

They often put deck chairs and fake sand down by the side of the Seine near the main bridges so you can pretend you are by the seaside even though you're in the middle of Paris!

I had to laugh at that answer saying that the only city with a beach was Barcelona!  ha ha.  What about Aberdeen?

Answer 26

Nearest beach is roughly 30 miles away from paris.

Answer 27

In addition to "Paris Plage" ,

why not also try the Nautic base of La Villette, it's in Paris, and there are lots of cool sports (rowing...) open to all including children (I think they are required to know how to swim just in case ... LOL), their site (with english version) is

Also, Deauville, le Touquet are very nice and only a couple of hours away in Normandy. If you have time, or if it is a bit too cold to swim or take the sun, go to Mont Saint Michel, near by it  is really beautiful and has a huge beach, with a very fast tide, watch out. pics and info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_Saint_...

Have a great time.

Answer 28

Paris is pretty inland, but the north west coast might be just a day trip a way. I would try the lonely planet website they are good at that.
