Experience the waterways of Paris in a self-drive electric boat

Many visitors to Paris think that the Seine is the only body of water in town. In fact, Paris boasts several canals that can be navigated by boat - a charming way to see the city from a whole new perspective.

A company called Marin d'Eau Douce now offers visitors and locals rentals of small electric boats that they can self drive along the canals. There are several itineraries to choose from. No licence is required. Rates begin at Euro 40 an hour and there are 2 to 8 persons boats to chose from.

The boat rental company can also provide a lovely picnic lunch, if you wish.
