Categories : Paris "OUT", published on : 8/5/25
This summer, Paris transforms into a true seaside resort! By staying at the C.O.Q Hôtel, nestled in the 13th arrondissement, you’ll enjoy an ideal location to explore the best swimming and relaxation spots in the capital.
Whether you're a fan of cool dips, lazy lounging, or unique discoveries, the City of Light offers countless ways to enjoy summer without ever leaving Paris.
Urban Swimming and Brazilian Vibes
Until August 31, 2025, Paris Plages celebrates its 24th edition in a sunny, exotic atmosphere inspired by Brazil. Six iconic locations have been turned into free, festive swimming areas.
The Bassin de la Villette, the banks of the Seine, and the Parc Rives de Seine become temporary beaches complete with deckchairs, misting stations, palm trees, concerts, and cultural events. From the C.O.Q Hôtel, these urban oases are easily accessible by metro, bike, or even on foot. It’s a perfect opportunity to sunbathe by the water while soaking in the charm of Paris.
Sunny Terraces and Chill Spots Just Steps from the Hotel
Want to relax without getting wet? The nearby Butte-aux-Cailles neighborhood, just minutes from the C.O.Q, is full of charming cobbled streets, welcoming cafés, and sunny terraces.
Stroll through Parc Montsouris for a peaceful nature break, or head up to a rooftop bar like La Felicità or Le Bar à Bulles to sip a cocktail with a view.
