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 2¾ to 3 hours, depending on traffic in the canal's locks.

Paris Canal also offers full-day, roundtrip Marne cruises that depart from the Musée d'Orsay.

Location:

Paris Canal has two embarkation points: 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).
