 Aboard
Arletty or Marcel Carné Boats
From the Paris Arsenal Marina to the Parc de la Villette or
inversely.This romantic and out of the ordinary trip of around
2.30 hours offers an opportunity to hear the history of the
districts of the "Parisians' Paris" as you cruise
along the calm waters of this canal, lined with hundred year
old trees and spanned by elegant footbridges. Under the mysterious
vault of the Bastille, the art show "Sounds of Light"
by Japanese artist Keiichi TAHARA, promises a magical experience.
This cruise, which will take you through four double locks
with swirling waters and two swing bridges, will allow you
to experience the "atmosphere" of the Hotel du Nord
created by Marcel Carné, Arletty and Louis Jouvet and
share the pleasure of the walkers strolling along the banks
lined with pretty boutiques and charming retro style cafés.Before
arriving at the Parc de la Villette (City of Sciences, The
Géode, City of Music and themed gardens) you will cross
the Bassin de la Villette, formerly a trading port now redeveloped
to form the setting for the Rotonde de la Villette, and pass
below the amazing Crimée drawbridge. |
