Large, potted palm trees, truckloads of sand, beach chairs and umbrellas are transported to the city's Right Bank, and in an all-night major set-up, are carefully arranged along the Seine. Throw in street entertainment, games for kids, and food, it's a fun event for all.Margaret LiWed, 29 Apr 2009 04:45:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:35http://www.pariscapes.com/Culture/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/Default.aspx#Comments0http://www.pariscapes.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=60&ModuleID=401&ArticleID=19http://www.pariscapes.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=19&PortalID=0&TabID=60http://www.pariscapes.com/Culture/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/19/Default.aspxEach year since the year 957, the Foire du Trône brings country fair attractions and amusements to Paris in the 12th arrondissement.  One of the largest country fairs in France, it was originally a place where merchants and vendors would meet farmers to trade commodities such as rice and grain. Today, it can be compared to amusement parks in North America, with rides, arcades, games, and rollercoasters. What sets it apart is the type of food available - move over cotton candy!Margaret LiSat, 18 Apr 2009 03:00:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:19http://www.pariscapes.com/Culture/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/33/The-Paris-Marathon-Start-Line.aspx#Comments0http://www.pariscapes.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/RssComments.aspx?TabID=60&ModuleID=401&ArticleID=33http://www.pariscapes.com/DesktopModules/DnnForge%20-%20NewsArticles/Tracking/Trackback.aspx?ArticleID=33&PortalID=0&TabID=60http://www.pariscapes.com/Culture/tabid/60/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/33/The-Paris-Marathon-Start-Line.aspxEvery spring the Paris Marathon brings close to 30,000 determined individuals to the City of Light to run 26.2 miles through the charming streets and right by - yes, even the Eiffel Tower. Margaret LiSat, 26 Apr 2008 06:55:00 GMTf1397696-738c-4295-afcd-943feb885714:33
