What you need to know
- Seasonal, not year-round: the boats run in summer and during the spring and fall school holidays, so off-season the cart may not be there
- Breezy days sail best, since a still afternoon means more pushing with the stick than sailing
- Half-hour turns per boat, so a sail fits easily between a picnic and the garden's playground
About
Rental wooden sailboats on the Grand Bassin, the octagonal pond in front of the Luxembourg Palace. Kids pick a boat from the cart, launch it from the stone rim, and walk around the pond to push it back out with a wooden stick when the wind brings it in.
The boats are the same handmade antiques rented here since 1927, repainted and fitted with new sails over the years.
