Let's go back to the late 19th and early 20th Century - Let The Good Times Roll

Back in those days - The Parisian working class put on their Sunday best to swarm out of the capital east to the banks of the Marne for weekend days of eating, drinking, boating and undoubted hanky-panky ( hey, after all.............. this is France!) 

The epicenter of the shenanigans were the riverside guinguettes ( pronounced - Gen-Get)  - restaurants-cum-bars-cum-music ' and dance-halls. The good news is that a few are still around. One of the best is the Ile-du-Martin-Pecheur
