PARIS

FRANCE
PHOTO GALLERY 
The pace of life in the French capital is intense and frenetic but only for 11 months of the year. At the height of summer it slows right down, because the average Parisian heads out of the city for August. With the aoûtiens gone, visitors can revel in the uncrowded métro and the quiet streets (parking isn't a problem). Although the museums and galleries remain open, Paris in the off-season does have its inconveniences: some of the best restaurants close, and your neighbourhood boulangerie may be shut (although a notice in the window will point you in the direction of fresh bread). On the plus side, the city gains La Paris Plage, a beach created every summer on a 2km stretch of highway on the Right Bank of the Seine with 2,000 tonnes of sand, outdoor cafes, and a swimming pool. Just take the metro to Pont-Neuf.
