On the evening of Wednesday 14 July 2027, Canauxrama invites you to celebrate Bastille Day from the Seine, with a front-row view of the pyrotechnics fired opposite the Eiffel Tower. Onboard our boats, you enjoy a privileged position on the river, away from the crowds on the banks, to take in the illuminations in a festive and intimate atmosphere.
Whether you choose a Bastille Day dinner cruise aboard the Chansonnier, a 5-hour dinner cruise sailing past Paris's greatest monuments before the fireworks, or a champagne cruise timed for the moment the sky lights up - each experience offers a unique way to celebrate France's national day on the water.
Boarding from 19:00 at Port de Grenelle, departure at 19:45 for a 4-hour evening aboard the Chansonnier, a human-scale vessel perfectly suited to a convivial atmosphere. The boat positions itself directly facing the Eiffel Tower for the 23:00 fireworks display, before returning to Port de Debilly at around 00:30. A special Fête Nationale menu is served onboard, with live music throughout the dinner. Tables accommodate up to 9 guests - ideal for a group celebration.
For a complete immersion in Paris on the night of Bastille Day: boarding at 18:45 at Escale de Grenelle, departure at 19:30 for a 5-hour journey along the Seine through the heart of the capital. Sail past the Assemblée Nationale, the Conciergerie, the Grand Palais and Notre-Dame de Paris - before the boat moors facing the Eiffel Tower to watch the fireworks display. Special Fête Nationale menu fully included, with live commentary onboard. Optional upgrades available: bay window seating, VIP area or front-of-boat position (subject to availability). Return to Port de Debilly after the fireworks.
The short, festive option: 2 hours on the Seine, departing at 22:00 from Pont-Neuf (Île de la Cité), champagne glass in hand, waiting for the fireworks in a lively musical atmosphere.
