And a
novelty this year
, a fan zone project at the Trocadéro.
On the program: broadcasts of the Olympic Games and the European Basketball Cup as well as an international skateboarding event.
But the project is still under discussion between elected officials.
Of course, all this will be framed by a strict health protocol: distance from deckchairs, wearing of the recommended mask and flexible hours.
The quays of the Seine area will be open from 10 a.m. to 6.30 p.m. and that of La Villette from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
