Enjoy a pleasant afternoon floating down Canal Saint Martin and out into the Seine with fellow WICE members.

The cruise begins at La Villette, the northernmost point on Canal Saint Martin, and passes under the Crimée lift bridge before continuing along the Bassin de la Villette.

From there it continues down the canal, crossing swing bridges and locks, until it enters the tunnel that travels over a mile under Paris streets to to Bassin de l'Arsenal just past the Bastille.


After passing the Bastille boat basin, the cruise exits out on to the Seine, where passengers see some of Paris's most famous landmarks: the private mansions of Ile Saint-Louis, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, the Tuileries Gardens . . . ending at the foot of the Musée d'Orsay for debarkation.


Please note: The canal cruise company cannot delay the cruise for late comers. Our 14:00 start time factors in the 20-minute early arrival that the company requires. If you are late and the boat leaves without you, there will be no refunds.

Additional details will be posted as we get closer to the event date.
