Paris - Beach?!?

Question

How long is the drive to the nearest beach to Paris?

Answer 1

there's a beach in paris, on the seine.

Answer 2

that's a bit like going to a chinese restaurant and asking for a curry.

if you want a beach go to somewhere near the sea! paris plage le touquet, wissant or wimereux are nice, further south is caen, st nazaire etc.. better still go to nice, la ciotat, gruissan,

or barcelona!

Answer 3

the drive is 2 hours and the beach is closer than what have written somepeople about 100miles for the closest one.

But it has nothing to do with Miami Beach at this time of the year!!!!!!! The nicest cities are Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur. They are fine to walk around, shop and restaurants serve great french traditional food.

Answer 4

Wait another 100 years and it will be zero miles (global warming).

Answer 5

I think that you'd better go in another city than PAris if you want to go to a beach.

Why don't you try the south of France near AMrseille, it's 3 hours by train.

But don't go in winter, there is no interrest.

Answer 6

Hi Lolo................planning to go to paris............well..............

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,

Paris is inland, there are hardly 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.

  

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.

  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 Nice Journey

Answer 7

Paris Plage (Paris Beach) is only in summer from City Hall to The Tuileries. Now it's finish

You have Aquaboulevard : swimming pool center at Balard Station (Subway line 8 last stop)

You have Deauville in Normandy by train - 2hrs from Paris.

Answer 8

You can go in Normandie on Deauville, Trouville, Honfleur... You will need 2 hours and half, by taking the speedway "A13".

Cameleon's tips are good...
