Join us on a delightful and unique journey that lasts around 2.5 hours, or 1.15 hours starting from April 13th. This special trip offers a chance to uncover the fascinating history of the districts that make up the heart of “Parisians Paris” as we meander along the serene waters of a picturesque canal. Lined with ancient trees and graced by elegant footbridges, the scenery is simply enchanting.

As we glide under the impressive vault of the Bastille, prepare to be captivated by the magical play of light in this mysterious setting. Our cruise will take us through four double locks with swirling waters and two swing bridges, providing a unique opportunity to soak in the ambiance that inspired the iconic Hotel du Nord from Marcel Carné’s film, starring Arletty and Louis Jouvet.

Along the way, you’ll also get to witness the charm of the banks adorned with lovely boutiques and retro-style cafes, where locals and tourists alike enjoy leisurely strolls. Our journey culminates with a passage through the Bassin de la Villette, a historic trading port transformed into a vibrant hub that houses the Rotonde de la Villette. Finally, we’ll reach the Parc de la Villette, home to the City of Sciences, The Géode, City of Music, and themed gardens—truly a fitting end to our unforgettable adventure.
