Paris Canal Saint-Martin Cruise 2 hr 30 min

See a quieter, more atmospheric side of Paris from the water on a Paris Canal Saint-Martin cruise. Century-old trees and elegant footbridges frame the route as live commentary in English and French brings the canal’s history and neighborhoods to life. Along the way, pass beneath the dramatic Bastille vault, where shifting light adds a sense of mystery, then watch the water swirl through four double locks and two swing bridges. The cruise continues past lively banks lined with boutiques and retro-style cafés, reaching the Bassin de la Villette and sights near Parc de la Villette, including the Cité des Sciences, La Géode, the Philharmonie de Paris, and themed gardens. Choose a departure from Arsenal or Bassin de la Villette to suit your plans. With an onboard bar and a leisurely 150-minute journey, this Paris Canal Saint-Martin cruise offers a fresh perspective on the city’s waterways and everyday life. Pick your departure point and enjoy Paris at canal pace.
