Port Paris

A simple defensive ditch in the 14th century, this port only became a basin in the 16th century. In the 18th century, a development plan decided to build a canal between the Ourcq River and the Seine. Around 1825, the Saint-Martin canal was built to connect the Villette basin and the Seine at the Arsenal, thus reducing the distance between the Henri-IV quay and the Saint-Denis island and bringing drinking water to the city. Later, the barge traffic made it a commercial port, transformed into a marina in 1983 and whose gardens you will appreciate!

This nautical stop of 24 secure locations can accommodate boats under 15 m. Boaters benefit from mooring docks accessible to persons with reduced mobility, electric power terminals and water terminals, waste water and sanitation terminals. A floating harbour provides boat rental without a permit during summer. The nautical stop of La Villette is close to the Cité des sciences et de l'industrie, the Cité de la musique, the park of La Villette.
