Summer on the canal

If you haven’t spent a summer in Paris, we highly recommend taking a trip down the Ourcq canals, where numerous festive and cultural activities are staged and events take place either on or around the waterways.

Take advantage of the river shuttles and very inexpensive cruises and visit the Ville de l’Amour from this unique angle (there are also evening cruises), as well as concerts, an open-air cinema, street art events (follow the l’urbain ” Parcours artistique Au fil de l’autre), dance recitals, floating concerts, balls and other nautical-themed entertainment.

Stroll along the canals, rent a bike and explore the summer festivities or enjoy a picnic. And don’t miss the annual Pavillons sous Bois Baignoires bathtub race!

Summer beaches open in Bobigny, Pantin, Épinay and Saint-Ouen, offering families free shows, workshops and creative, sporting and water sports activities.

Visit Place François de Larderel opposite Parc de La Bergère in Bobigny to see dance performances and take part in creative workshops. Don’t miss a visit to Garage B., dedicated to street art in the park. You can come and go by shuttle bus.

Cultural strolls await you this summer on a variety of themes: street art, JOP, heritage…

You can also take advantage of our shuttle + tour, show or workshop packages.
