Description of the cruise

Exceptional, on October October 28th, 2023, come and experience an IMMERSIVE cruise on the Saint Martin Canal. Mixing improvisation and theater, you will journey through the ages, accompanied by Arletty and Louis Jouvet (Atmosphere, Atmosphere, do I...), Napoleon Iᵉʳ, the initiator of the canal to provide drinking water to Parisians, and the Templars who settled in the neighborhood.

Starting from the Port de Paris Arsenal, at the foot of Place de la Bastille, to Square Raoul FOLLEREAU or vice versa, during a 1 hour and 15 minutes journey with our favorite actor: Xavier GAUTHIER, you will discover the functioning of the locks, a system devised by the ingenious Leonardo da Vinci, you will navigate under the mysterious vault of the Bastille, conceived by Baron Haussmann, you will try to find the location where Victor Hugo's Gavroche once hid, and you can stroll through the Port de Paris Arsenal, a haven of peace and tranquility in the heart of Paris.

During this UNIQUE cruise in Paris, the past, present, and future of several neighborhoods blend to create an exciting page of history, an unusual and mysterious Paris.
