A colorful program to finish off your holiday in Paris this summer!

River shuttles will sail this weekend, at the cost of 1 € on Saturday and 2 € on Sunday (free for children less than 10 years). These “bus boats” will take you from one to another spot of the festival. From the Bassin of La Villette, to the Parc of La Villette, via the Pantin harbor, the Bobigny leisure port and the beach of Noisy-Bondy!

The program: a dozen cruises on the canal. By example, for gourmets, the “brunch cruises” at 27 €. For cyclists, the “escapade cruises” ; or for more festive people, the “festive and musical cruises” ; etc.

In addition, an ephemeral Leisure Port has been set up in Bobigny, in the Parc de la Bergère. Very green and friendly, it offers free animations and workshops. Balls, electro parties, concerts, relaxation areas, tasting of local beers … There is something for everyone!

The “barge balls” (crazy ball) at the Parc de la Poudrerie are also back. Animated by an orchestra, you will be able to dance there the whole afternoon!

The big novelty of this edition is the Canal Street Art. 10 km of Street Art starting with the point the universe of the Harcourt Studios.
