Paris Canal
If you'd like to bundle your Seine and St-Martin Canal cruising
into a single voyage, Paris Canal is for you: The company's boats run between
the Musée d'Orsay, on the Left Bank of the Seine
River, to the Parc de la Villette in the 10th arrondissement. Journey time is
about 2½ hours, depending on traffic in the canal's locks.
Paris Canal also offers day cruises on the Seine, the Marne, the
Canal de l'Ourcq, and the Canal St-Denis. See the company's Web site (link
below) for details.
Location:
Paris Canal has two embarkation points for its St-Martin Canal
cruises: one on the Quai Anatole
France near the Musée d'Orsay, and the other in the Parc de la Villette. The
last time we checked, the company offered four cruises per day (two in each
direction, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon).
