What you need to know
- Three canal trips to pick from: the 1h15 express suits younger kids, the 2h30 trip covers the whole canal, and a 2h00 route carries on to the Seine
- One-way crossing on the full 2h30 trip, between Bassin de la Villette (metro Jaurès or Stalingrad) and Port de l'Arsenal (metro Bastille), so plan the ride back
- Bar and toilets on board, and walk-up tickets are sold on board when seats remain, though online bookings board first
About
Canauxrama runs narrated boat trips along the Canal Saint-Martin, between Bassin de la Villette and Port de l'Arsenal by Bastille. Kids watch the boat work through 8 locks, pass 2 swing bridges and the Crimée lift bridge, then glide through the vault beneath Bastille, lit by skylights. Guides tell stories of Napoleon and old Paris along the way. The full canal trip runs one way, so plan the ride back.
