"Marin d’Eau Douce The boat basin Bassin de la Villette is berth to Marin d’Eau Douce, a service that rents out easy-to-steer electric boats by the hour. Captaining your own boat isan unforgettable way to see Paris and beyond. Cruise through the industrial countryside, watch graffiti artists working on city-sponsored projects, pass shipping barges, bob alongsidethe swans, and putter pastthe city limits on your self-guided visit. The trips are perfect for couples, families with young kids, or small groups of friends. (The youngest sailors will love the mini-boat rides available for 10-minute spins around the basin.)"
the staff is very laxed they took over 15 minutes to check us in which interfered with out time. the restraints on the area was frustrating as well and then having to wait for the draw bridge in order to cross was a hindrance on our time as well. our 2 hr boat ride ended up being 40 mins top. also the boats dont go very fast at all. I could've walked faster. the experience I thought we were going to have was tainted by all these things that should've been explained on the website. we should be refunded

A very relaxed pleasant activity especially on a sunny spring afternoon. Good service. The little dockside cafe is nice. Boats are super clean, are easy to operate, and the canal goes a long way.

Loved sitting in between the boats on the canal!
The coffee was so-so, but what a great spot and really friendly service.
Really makes me want to rent a boat when it gets warmer. . . feeling inspired!

I've rented a boat twice now and both times it's been fantastic. The staff are great and the boat ride is excellent. I recommend paying for a table and taking your own picnic

We rented a boat for a group of 6 on Friday night and we had a great time. The staff was really helpful and friendly and we really enjoyed the 2 hours on the boat. It’s a great way to spend time with friends and enjoy something unique to do in Paris. 10/10 definitely recommend. 💯

Really fun and relaxing ride through the river. 1 hour keeps you locked into a very small portion of the river, basically a pond. Need at least two hours to fully enjoy. Bring your own food.
