The heat wave is definitely here, and even though a lull is forecast for next week, we can expect another heat wave the week after… A particularly intense heat wave that could last until July 14… So before you completely melt on the spot, we’ve found you a perfect haven of peace to cool off. Head to Souppes-sur-Loing, in Seine-et-Marne!
An idyllic beach in Seine-et-Marne, far from the crowds
While Parisian swimming pools might seem like a dream during a heat wave, let’s be honest: they’re often packed to the brim. So rather than enduring the crowds in a space that’s sometimes too cramped, we suggest heading to Seine-et-Marne.
That’s where the Souppes-sur-Loing recreation center and its lovely beach come in— it has everything you could dream of: a stretch of white sand for sunbathing, crystal-clear, refreshingly cool water, and even plenty of water sports to enjoy. Pedal boats, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing… The whole family is sure to have a great time (and stay cool).
There’s also a summer snack bar where you can grab a bite, XXL inflatable games for the kids, and even mountain bikes for rent so you can explore the region’s hidden gems. It’s the perfect spot to truly unwind in a pristine green setting , far from Parisian pollution.
Open for swimming from July 4 through August 30, this spot will be a haven for everyone in the Île-de-France region looking to cool off. While supervised swimming costs 3 euros per adult, it’s free for children under 3. Hurry before everyone else gets there!
