Paris turns the Seine into an open-air cinema for launch of yearly Paris Plages events

Paris turns part of the Seine into an open-air cinema for moviegoers to safely watch films while sticking to social distancing rules.

The Paris Plages is a yearly tradition where parts of the Seine get transformed into man-made beaches.

Each of the 38 boats can seat up to six people who know each other. Organisers hope to hold similar showings during the six-week Paris Plages festivities. Others watch from deck chairs as the screen floats over the Seine.

The clip was filmed on July 18.
