VOICED: Paris beach festival celebrates 10th year

The Paris beach initiative, started by Mayor Harry Plache, transforms a stretch of the Seine's right bank into a beach every summer. Initially a DIY project, it has grown significantly, adding features like mist sprayers and a volleyball court. The project costs 2.5 million euros, half funded by sponsors, and has inspired similar initiatives worldwide. It is seen as a dynamic success, with plans to expand to the Left Bank, potentially hosting events year-round.
