"Old Paris" cruise on the Canal Saint Martin

A romantic and out of the ordinary trip in the heart of "Parisians’ Paris"...

Depending on our schedule, your one-way cruise will start at the Paris-Arsenal Marina and will take you to the Bassin 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.

You will slide under the mysterious and spectacular vault of the Bastille, where the light is there magic...
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 Geode, 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.
