Perhaps you've already slept on a campsite, in a tree house or yurt. But have you ever slept on the water? Well, here's a tip for sailors of all kinds: the Spicy barge, in Meaux (77), offers you the chance to spend an unusual night on board.
Once a German coastal patrol boat, the Spicy is now an idyllic place to spend a timeless night for up to two people. Whether you're looking for a romantic weekend in Meaux, or simply an overnight experience, make yourself comfortable in this small (30 m²) barge and enjoy an unusual experience in an unusual accommodation.
In 2022, Solenn and Patrice, two former members of the French Navy, bought the boat from a Swiss couple who had already converted it for charter. The boat is now moored on Quai Sadi Carnot, in Meaux! The Spicy has a kitchenette, a lounge, a cabin for two (with double bed), a bathroom and a terrace, so you can enjoy a view of the Seine during your stay. As an option, you can also enjoy a two-hour trip on the Marne river (for up to 4 people), to discover the flora and fauna of the department, or order charcuterie and cheese boards for dinner, with a fine selection of local produce.
For this romantic and unusual getaway less than an hour from Paris, prices start from €130 per night for two people (including overnight stay, bathroom linen, housekeeping and breakfast drinks) and from €100 for a trip on the Marne River. If you book more than 30 days before the start of your desired stay, the team will apply a 10% discount to your reservation.
