Just imagine a short-lived beach right in the heart of the city, on the Malraux peninsula, where fine sand, children's laughter and a summer atmosphere replace concrete and traffic noise. That's what I'd like you to discover in this article. Get your towel and sun cream ready and follow me on a guided tour of this magical place. The Malraux peninsula , usually known for its library, is transformed every summer into an urban oasis.
From 8 July to 3 September , the concrete will give way to a beach of fine sand, colourful deckchairs and parasols, creating a holiday atmosphere right in the heart of the city. It's a real change of scenery, a bubble of serenity in the midst of urban bustle. Imagine, after a morning spent reading in the cool of the media library, stepping outside and instantly finding yourself in a seaside atmosphere.
And that's not all. The Malraux peninsula is also home to a water sports centre , open from Sunday to Thursday from 3pm to 7pm, and on Fridays and Saturdays from 3pm to 9pm.
Whether you're a freshwater sailor or a true sea dog, you'll find plenty to keep you amused and refreshed. As soon as you set foot on the fine sand, you are transported into another world. The noise of the city fades away, replaced by the laughter of children building sandcastles, the lapping of the water against the quays and the gentle murmur of conversations between friends and family. Every afternoon , seasonal staff put on activities for children.
Don't forget to book on the Media Library website. Summer Docks has something for everyone. For the little ones, the Moussaillons area 3 to 8 years old offers games and activities adapted to their age. Juniors aged 9 to 12 are not to be outdone, with their own dedicated area.
