Itinerario
.
Entra en el largo túnel subterráneo del Canal Saint-Martin, un pasaje abovedado debajo de la ciudad. A medida que la luz del día se desvanece y reaparece a través de las aberturas de arriba, la atmósfera se vuelve única y tranquila e inmersiva. Surge del túnel cerca de la Plaza de la Bastilla, donde el contraste entre el canal subterráneo y la animada plaza histórica crea uno de los momentos más llamativos del crucero.
Navegue a través de la Écluse du Temple, otra esclusa clave en el Canal Saint-Martin, donde el lento ritmo del agua refuerza la naturaleza pacífica del crucero.
Adéntrate en el corazón del Canal Saint-Martin, famoso por sus bancos arbolados, elegantes pasarelas de hierro y su encanto parisino atemporal. Esta es una de las vías fluviales más pintorescas de la ciudad, amada por los lugareños y cineastas por igual.
Pasa por las Écluses des Morts, una serie de esclusas cuyo nombre recuerda el largo y a veces dramático pasado del canal, añadiendo un toque de misterio al viaje.
Deslízate por la tranquila Bassin Louis Blanc, donde el canal se funde perfectamente con el barrio circundante, creando un ambiente tranquilo e íntimo lejos del bullicio de la ciudad.
Experimente su primera esclusa mientras el barco pasa por la Écluse de la Villette. Vea cómo el nivel del agua sube o baja suavemente a medida que las compuertas de las esclusas se abren y cierran, lo que ofrece una visión cautivadora de la ingeniería del canal.
Crucero por el Canal de l’Ourcq, construido originalmente para abastecer a París de agua dulce. Forrado con antiguos almacenes y modernos edificios residenciales, este tramo revela un lado más tranquilo y auténtico de la capital.
Navegue por debajo del emblemático puente elevador de la rue de Crimée, uno de los últimos puentes elevadores operativos de París. Ver cómo el puente se eleva sobre el barco es un momento raro y fascinante que pone de relieve el patrimonio industrial vivo de la ciudad.
El barco llega a la Bassin de la Villette, una de las mayores cuencas de aguas abiertas de París. Esta animada pero relajada zona marca la puerta de entrada a la histórica red de canales de la ciudad, donde la vida urbana cede paso lentamente a las tranquilas vías fluviales y a un ambiente parisino más local.

Beautiful walk. Many locks requiring long wait times, giving the impression of not sailing much.
Great commentary and explanation along the canal route. The tour is well worth it. Drinks available on board

Fascinating and surprising! A must see hidden Paris treasure Who knew Paris had these waterways through the centre of Paris!

The waterways of Paris are indeed a hidden treasure, and we love sharing this unique side of the city with our travelers. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable moment in Paris!

Totally bad. Worst ever! The taxi was late and therefore missed the boat! Okay -our responsibility. No refund and no alternative and no exceptions. This is despite our own responsibility theft - what a bad treatment- bah
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding this situation. As explained in our booking conditions, transportation to the departure point remains the responsibility of each participant, and unfortunately we are unable to provide refunds or alternative departures in the case of a missed cruise due to late arrival. These conditions apply equally to all customers. We nevertheless regret that this experience left you with such a negative impression and we sincerely hope you were still able to enjoy your stay in Paris. Warm regards, Alice de France Tourisme
Very interesting when going through the tunnel and the first few locks. After the 3rd lock(there were 9) it got a little boring. The commentary was helpful but the sound was often garbled. Maybe if we had sat inside it would have been better. We sat outside in the front and we got showered with water as we went through each lock and couldn’t hear the commentary at all at those times. We were glad we experienced this because it is a little hidden gem. We saw lots of families watching the lock process or crossing the bridges, waving and explaining to their children about the canal and the boat. We don’t need to do it again, but we were glad we did it this one time.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the beginning of the canal trip interesting, especially going through the tunnel and the first locks, and that you enjoyed seeing local families along the way — it really is a unique “hidden gem” of Paris. We’re sorry to hear that the later part of the journey felt repetitive, and that the sound quality and outdoor seating affected your comfort and ability to follow the commentary. We also understand that getting splashed during the locks made the experience less enjoyable than expected. Your comments are very helpful and will be shared with our team to improve both the audio system and passenger comfort. If you return to Paris, we would be happy to offer you a more comfortable experience, such as a Seine River cruise with indoor seating and Eiffel Tower views, or a guided visit of the Louvre Museum for a more engaging cultural experience.

At first, we sat outside and could not hear the english commentary. Sound system was not very loud and not very good. Outside seating cramped and uncomfortable. We moved inside later and could hear her but commentary not interesting and she started everything in English with the phrase “just so you know”. A lot of locks but not much else to see. Overall unimpressed.
Hello Martin, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear that your canal trip did not meet your expectations. The issues you mention — difficulty hearing the English commentary outside, limited sound quality, and uncomfortable outdoor seating — are certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We also understand your disappointment regarding the commentary content and overall interest of the visit. Your feedback is very helpful and will be shared with our team, particularly regarding sound clarity, seating comfort, and the guiding style, so we can work on improving these aspects. Despite this experience, we hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future. You could enjoy a more immersive Seine River cruise with better visibility and audio guidance, or a guided visit of the Louvre Museum, which offers a richer cultural commentary and a more structured experience. If you would like to discuss your experience further, you can also contact us at info@francetourisme.fr . We hope to regain your trust on a future visit to Paris. Alice de France Tourisme
The trip was very good apart from they had no knowledge that we had booked a breakfast with coffee and a crossiant. When we booked this trip we actually wanted to go later in the day but the only trip was the breakfast trip with breakfast mandatory. We sacrificed an inclusive breakfast at our hotel so that we could have breakfast on the boat. So I would like some sort of compensation. This was on top of the cancellation of our tour of Notre Darm with only 20 minutes notice all though you have refunded the money it was pretty poor service. We will be sharing this on tripadvisor as Viator do not seem to be the company they were!!!
Great tour, very interesting, the tour guide was very nice, but it was hard to understand what she was saying
Thank you very much for your feedback! We’re happy to hear that you found the tour interesting and that you appreciated the kindness of your guide. We’re sorry to hear that understanding the commentary was a bit challenging—your comfort and enjoyment are very important to us. At France Tourisme, we strive to provide clear and engaging experiences for all our guests, and your comment helps us improve. We hope to welcome you again soon for another memorable adventure! For your next trip, you might enjoy a private 3-hour city tour by minivan where guides tailor the experience to your pace, or a relaxing 1-hour discovery cruise on the Seine with lovely views of Paris. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, Alice de France Tourisme
This was a very disappointing tour.The commentary was inarticulate and whilst I acknowledge the guides first language is not English at least get someone who can articulate clearly. Because of alleged engine problems the cruise was terminated with 1/2 an hour to go. We were abruptly dumped in an inconvenient area of Paris and left to our own devices instead of the more convenient intended docking station. On. Today’s performance I suggest avoiding this cruise company.
Hello, I am truly sorry to read how disappointing your experience was. I completely understand your frustration regarding the commentary that was difficult to follow and the premature end of the cruise due to technical issues. Being dropped off unexpectedly in an inconvenient location is understandably upsetting, and I sincerely regret that this situation affected your visit. All the information about the commentary and itinerary is normally provided beforehand, and our guides always do their best to offer clear and engaging explanations. If the commentary was not up to your expectations, I genuinely apologize. As for the technical problem, it remained an exceptional incident, but I understand that this does not lessen your disappointment. Please feel free to contact us at info@francetourisme.fr , so we can review your file and offer you appropriate assistance. Alice de France Tourisme
Do not miss this little known adventure in Paris. It is worth the ride and you spend two hours on the Seine...
Dear Patsy Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed this beautiful and lesser-known Canal Saint-Martin–Seine cruise — it’s truly a hidden gem that lets you see another side of Paris, peaceful and full of charm. We’d be delighted to welcome you again soon! Perhaps you could enjoy a sunset champagne cruise for a sparkling view of the city, or a guided tour of Giverny to follow in Monet’s footsteps. Each experience reveals yet another facet of Paris and its surroundings. Warm regards, Alice de France Tourisme
