As a hellish heatwave settles in progressively over the capital, promising a summer filled with warmth, many Parisians (us included) are dreaming of a place to cool off while enjoying the lovely weather. And the good news is that we’ve discovered an incredible gem just a stone’s throw from Paris: the beach of Isle-Adam, also known as the largest river beach in the country.

Indeed, no one is left behind here! The activities keep flowing and are diverse to please as many people as possible. Besides a beautiful fine sandy beach along the Oise, the site offers you two swimming pools, dozens of slides, two diving boards, water games, and even a kiddie pool for those who might not feel quite ready for the big plunge.
A Huge Playground
And for those of you who have a fear of watery substances, no worries, we haven’t forgotten about you either! Because The Beach is also a paradise for sports enthusiasts: ping-pong tables, petanque courts, beach volleyball, mini-golf, and beach soccer. There are inflatable structures, perfect for those who dream of fun and adventure.

And to enjoy a full day at this amazing place, you don't need to break the bank, as it only costs 20€ per person (which is way cheaper than an electric fan or a train to Marseille). For a small fee, you can also enjoy a boat or pedal boat ride, a sunshade, or a deck chair, along with one of the incredible beach cabins that have been renovated in recent years. So, isn't life beautiful?
