If you wish to go for some free tango dancing, you can do it every evening, as long as the the weather is warm and nice. It takes place in open air on Quai (or Port) Saint Bernhard, Place Tino Rossi. It has been going on for some 10 or 15 years.
The photos are far from sharp, but I hope that they show that people are really dancing.
I wish you a nice weekend!

Bravo Peter! At least one of us got some good photos of this wonderful evening in Paris. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though my camera went down and I came away with only about 4 marginal photos. Maybe that was a good thing. It gave me more time to just sit and enjoy the dancers! You have captured the spirit, the movement, and the mood perfectly.
I wish I could dance like this. Shannon loves to salsa dance and theses shots are awesome!!!
I too love your photos! They have a Renoir feel to them, especially the one at the beginning of your blog. Really unique!
The ohotos not being sharp make them even better (at leastin my eyes). You see the movement, and you can sense the tango feeling. I like them very much.
Peter, tu nous fais tourner la tête!
Si je comprensd bien ce ne sera jamais le dernier tango à Paris !
burpppp, j'ai tellement tourné que je viens de vomir mes tartines.:-) trêve de plaisanterie, ta première photo est superbe. Mais la question qui me turlupine, est-ce que le piteur danse le tango? :-)
je t'embrasse et bon WE.
Bravo Peter, the first photo is a great one!!! Pls tell me if this nice event will still take place on the 18th of September. Me and my husbant will love to tango and take some photos there!
Hi Peter, I love your blog! Your pics are great here. I actually just wrote a post on the Tango yesterday, too. Must be something about summer in Paris, you have to talk about the Tango! Even though you dont want too many people to find out about it so it stays a lovely little secret in its own way! Keep the excellent posts coming...
I like the first one: it's filled with heath, passion and drama -just like tango!
have a nice weekend!
I really like the first photo! Well done! Made me want to dance :-)
Have a good weekend!
OMG!!
I LOVE these swirling figures!!!
This is brilliant Peter!!!!!!
Great pictures! They made me feel like dancing...
Not being sharp is giving a special effect of the twists! Thanks for sharing. Even though I wish to dance with my wife there, I'm far from that place.
Have a nice weekend!

That wonderful first photograph is pure Renoir! Just love these photographs, Peter. Love that they aren't sharp - they are alive with the movement of the dance and what a lot of dancers. Just fab. Bravo!
moi je suis tango tango
That looks fun. I would probably just watch though.
The top picture brings back memories of a dance that we used to do in my teen years in California called the slam dancing. ;-) Have a great weekend.
I hope that's not the Last Tango in Paris.
It's moving a lot!
"Emportés par la foule qui nous traîne, nous entraîne..."
Wonderful, I'd love to do this! I have no idea how to tango, but I'm a fast learner.
Well done Peter. Think I might have to get some of my blogger friends down there :-)
Maybe Bergson will join us and he and I will tango?HA
I did this ten years ago!!! My first time in Paris, my first time dancing the tango. It was so much fun. Thanks for the wonderful pictures.
sharp no sharp, i really don't care Peter, your pictures communicate, There is a lot of action here. i love to see people enjoying where ever they are.
This looks like FUN! You certainly captured the spirit of the dancers and these photos look like paintings. Did you tango?
Tino Rossi sings one of my favorite versions of Besame Mucho. Imagine my surprise to see a Place named for him. If I am in Paris next summer I will be sure to check this out. Thanks for the info. Hope you have a nice weekend too!!!
Nästa helg fixar jag fint väder i Göteborg. Det småregnar just nu, men det är ett varmt stilla svenskt sommarregn. Jag har precis kommit in efter att ha varit ute och sprungit i drygt en timma. Helt underbart.
Jag gillar alla fina fotografier här. Jag har många fina minnen från Paris.
Au revoir
Shows just how hard those moves are.
Wow, this sure looks like fun!!! Lovely photos!
Have a nice weekend, Peter!
Gosh! Those photos are amazing! I love them!
I wish I could Tango too!

Salsa dance is full of fun and joy. It keeps the body fit and maintains the posture. It also relieves the mind from stress. I came across an amazing website that enhances the skill of salsa dance
through free online video classes.

I found it --- Tango post that is --
I love the Swirling and whirling and twirling around – images to a thousand stars in the sky ---
-- like my poem "dizzy dancing in our heads. Makes my heart race just looking at them
It would be a perfect time of the year to go to Paris...thanks Peter. what type of tango do they do? do you know? --I have been taking Argentine Tango lessons. Beautiful imagery for me to reflect and dream on.
