  • Paris Plages, an annual event organized by the French capital, creates temporary beaches along the Seine and the Bassin de la Villette during the summer.
  • To celebrate the event, and the recent reopening of movie theaters in France after being closed due to the coronavirus, cinema chain Mk2 collaborated with Häagen-Dazs to create "Cinéma sur l'Eau" (cinema on the water).
  • On July 18 at 7.30 p.m., 150 locals will watch "Le Grand Bain" — a comedy about a group of men who start a synchronized swimming team — from 38 electric boats floating on the water.
  • According to a press release from PR company Spark Agency, each boat seats four to six people, while social-distancing practices ensure that groups are family or friends.
  • Another 150 people will be able to watch the movie from deck chairs on land.
  • Parisians can enter a raffle for free tickets here from July 7 until July 15.
