It seems like something out of a romantic film about Paris: dancing on the banks of the Seine. However, it is possible in real life, in the Jardin Tino Rossi.

Opposite the Jardin des Plantes, which is also well worth a visit, you will find the Jardin Tino Rossi stretching along the banks of the Seine. In this modest garden on the Quai Saint-Bernard, you will find the Musée de la sculpture en plein air. It is an open-air museum featuring more than 30 modern sculptures by artists such as Brancusi, César, Zadkine, and Stahly.

But there is more. From June until mid-September, you can dance there. Salsa, rock & roll, tango—there is something for everyone. Especially on warm summer evenings during the weekend, it feels as though you are being welcomed to a large party.

The garden itself is named after the singer and actor Tino Rossi. You may be familiar with his hits J’attendrai or Vieni vieni.

Admission to the Musée de la sculpture en plein air and Jardin Tino Rossi is free. The park is open every day, 24 hours a day. Dancing takes place from June through mid-September, from Thursday to Sunday, from the late afternoon until midnight. Music usually starts at 5:00 PM; on Sundays, it often begins earlier, at 3:00 PM.
