Riads are old Moroccan homes built by wealthy people. Many have been converted to hotels and some into restaurants. We visit one in Fes.

Do you know if this is new to this summer?Maybe I wasn’t paying enough attention at my surrounding last summer but I don’t remember it
It’s actually a fairly long-standing program now…started in 2002, with just the one on Rive Droite, just below the Hotel de Ville. We first noticed it in 2005. By 2006, they had added one on the Rive Gauche, and in 2007 on the Bassin de la Villette. I don’t know how long they’ve been doing the on in front of the city hall, but when we saw it last week it was set up for beach volleyball!
Nothing new here. There was a plage when I lived there in 1966.
After a little research I figured out why I didn’t see them last year . I went in June! LOL And in 2011,May. So they weren’t open yet. The beaches are open daily between July 19th to August 17th, from 9:00 a.m. to midnight in 2014,
