    While the cinema drive-in may have gotten a boost as lockdowns gradually come to an end amid the COVID-19 outbreak, in Paris film fans can now munch on their popcorn watching a movie from a boat on the river Seine. Image Credit: REUTERS

    As part of Paris Plages, the yearly transformation of sections of the Seine into man-made beaches, moviegoers were able to board 38 electric boats for a free showing of the 2018 French comedy "Le Grand Bain". Image Credit: REUTERS

    "I really enjoy open-air cinema. It marks the beginning of the summer, and even if we already are in mid-July, for me it marks the beginning of the Parisian summer adventures," said 25-year-old Eloise Blomme. Image Credit: REUTERS

    "I really enjoy the idea of the boats - associating the Seine with a movie on water, I didn't want to miss this," added Blomme. Each boat can seat up to six people who know each other. Image Credit: AFP

    Cinemas have reopened in France, but occupancy levels remain very low. While the virus has been under control with fatalities and the number of people in intensive care falling, daily cases have increased ahead of the summer holiday season. The disease has killed more than 30,000 people in France. Image Credit: REUTERS
