This extraordinary canal cruise offers you the chance to delve into the history of the authentic Parisian districts. As you glide along the tranquil waters, flanked by century-old trees and graced by elegant footbridges, you'll gain a new appreciation for this city's charm.
You'll pass under the enigmatic and awe-inspiring vault of the Bastille, where the play of light creates an almost magical atmosphere. This journey takes you through four double locks with swirling currents and two rotating bridges, offering a truly immersive experience. Along the way, you'll get a taste of the ambience immortalised in the Hotel du Nord by Marcel Carné, Arletty and Louis Jouvet. You can also share in the delight of pedestrians meandering along the banks dotted with attractive shops and charming vintage-style cafes.
Before reaching Parc de la Villette - home to the City of Sciences, The Geode, City of Music and themed gardens - you'll traverse Bassin de la Villette. Once a bustling trading port, it has been transformed into a scenic backdrop for the Rotonde de la Villette.
