Group Cruise: Bucolic Discovery of the Marne and Its Guinguettes

SPECIAL GROUPS OFFER
from 42.00€ / pers

A bucolic cruise in the green setting of the Marne and in the friendly tradition of guinguettes

Description of the cruise

The day begins in the port of the Arsenal. After passing the Bastille lock, a superb view of Notre-Dame-de-Paris, we discover the eastern districts of Paris, Bercy and the Grande Bibliothèque de France. At the confluence of the Marne, Chinagora, the Chinese centre, marks the limit of the urban landscape.

The boat slowly winds its way up the river... passing the Saint Maurice lock, where Delacroix grew up, the Moulin Brûlé island and the Île aux Corbeaux. Leaving Ile Fanac, you'll enter ‘guinguette country’: Gégène, le p'tit Robinson, the old Convert ball and le Verger à Nogent. After cruising along the islands of Loups and d'Amour, the boat makes a U-turn at Bry-sur-Marne and docks for lunch at the legendary Chez Gégène guinguette in Joinville le pont.

From 12.15pm to 2.15pm, enjoy a well-deserved break for lunch at your leisure, either as a picnic or a meal in the restaurant. The boat will set off again at 2.30pm for the rest of the adventure.

In the afternoon, you will return to Paris in a "musette" atmosphere animated by our accordionist, while discovering superb residences and protected landscapes. During the cruise, comments, anecdotes and dancing...
