In Paris you can also take to the sea! If you're looking for an original idea to enjoy the beautiful days in the capital, then get a firm grip on yourself, sailors, because we've found a great plan for you to cast off and sail on the waves: boats without a license.
Let's go to Band of boats, the boat rental platform, where you can discover the fleet of freshwater sailors that has taken over the bassin de la Villette. Three types of electric boats without license are proposed with a maximum capacity of 5, 7 or 11 people for a rental by the hour or by the day.
You can choose your extras: apero basket, bottle of champagne or wine, mölkky or petanque game, in short, everything you need to enjoy the art of living in the 19th arrondissement. Reservations are highly recommended! Before playing Jack Sparrow, we'll explain how your boat works (yes, it's always useful). It's as simple as can be: a lever to adjust the speed, cut the engine or turn back and a steering wheel to maintain the course. We also explain the codes to follow to navigate safely. Now that we are well informed, we are ready to set sail.
On the calm waters of the Bassin de la Villette, it is a real ballet of smiling faces that the boats begin, to the sound of laughter and under the eyes of the passers-by who line the canal. Depending on the length of your rental, your maritime tour can extend over 40 km on the Ourcq Canal.
The designated drivers exchange knowing glances while maneuvering. Couples, groups of friends, families, each crew is ready to play. Selfies in front of the Rotunda, a drink on the water, a petanque break on the edge of the canal, to each his own way to enjoy.
In short, here is a very chill plan to enjoy the beautiful days in Paris!
