The City of Paris is offering a great deal this summer for young people aged 15 to 25 (so if you are over 25, you’ve just realized you’re officially categorized as old, thank you very much…) who live in Paris and are staying in the capital for the holidays.
It is the Pass Jeunes, a sesame-like pass granting access to 26 free activities or reduced-rate offers in the fields of sports, culture, and leisure in Paris for the summer of 2012 (from July 1st to August 31st).
