Fancy a beach break and why not an unusual boat trip on the Seine without leaving the capital? Polpo Plage has it all. We're off to rediscover the large summerterrace adjoining the seafood brasserie, which transforms into a veritable seaside beach during the summer season.
Located on the Right Bank of the River Seine, in Levellois-Perret(accessible by metro, of course!), the Polpo Plage has a lot to offer. With picnic-style tables, cosy sofa-benches, deckchairs and parasols, we're all set to kick off our shoes and put our feet up on the fine, warm sand. A large wooden bar welcomes you to enjoy beers, cocktails, rosés, oysters and spreads from Supers Producteurs. Finish off with our famous Italian ice creams for dessert, of course!
Once a month this summer, Polpo Plage hosts Braséro evenings featuring flame-grilled kebabs accompanied by rosé wine, enough to make you feel right at home on vacation.
Polpo Plage, in addition to being a great beach to relax on, also boasts a unique feature: a marina where you can rent electric boats without a license to sail on the Seine. If you're looking for a terrace with a difference and an unusual activity to enjoy with your partner, family or friends, this is the spot you're going to love.
The marina is the result of a collaboration between the barge-restaurant Polpo and the company Marin d'eau douce. The small electric boats, which don't require a license, can be used to travel on the water up to the Suresnes lock, using the river's oxbows. These boats are made in France, in Nantes (Loire-Atlantique) and near Cognac (Charente), and can accommodate between five and nine people. The boats cruise the Seine at an average speed of 6 km/h, and surprise, you're the captain!
The trips from the Levallois marina are designed to last two hours, allowing you to reach the Suresnes lock in complete safety, without passing any freight barges. However, the more adventurous can rent a boat for up to 4 hours and continue the adventure on the other side of the Seine, towards L'Île-Saint-Denis (Seine-Saint-Denis). Don't worry, the navigable section is in a backwater of the Seine, so there's no risk of running into a freight boat.
Rental rates vary according to boat size and length of trip, from 40 euros for a 4-5-seater boat for 1 hour, to 90 euros for a 10-11-seater boat.
What's on offer? Gourmet baskets are available to treat yourself to a meal on the water, ideal for enjoying the sun and, why not, a beautiful sunset.
So as soon as the weather's fine, put your feet up in the sand and let yourself be tempted by an unforgettable river trip from Polpo Plage, discovering the banks of the Seine and the unusual landscapes of the Paris region.
