Ship ahoy ! Navigating and riding on the Seine is the ultimate fantasy for a long summer evening or on a Sunday when you are pining for holidays … The good news is that you can satisfy your longing for the sea while in the city without even needing a boat permit. Demonstration.
The small private boats of Maquereaux
We already mentioned Les Maquereaux, the most trendy outdoor bar in Paris… But what is less known, is that this super stylish guinguette also offers happy hour outings on the Seine around the île Saint Louis, departing from the Quai de l’Hôtel de Ville in front of Les Maquereaux.
Hop on board with the gang (6 or 12 persons) on the famous “floating salons”, the new boats that are creating the buzz on the Seine. Your job: gathering your buddies: Les Maquereaux will take care of the rest ! Captain, oysters, playlist and white wine are on board. All you need to do is to reserve…
Price: starting at €204 for 6 persons. Reservations on :
Les Maquereaux Quai de l’Hôtel de Ville - Pont Louis Philippe 75004 Paris 01 73 78 36 41 lesmaquereaux.com
