Did you know that it was possible to have a beginner’s course and go rowing or canoe-kayaking in Paris without having to navigate around the Bateaux Mouches or barges transporting goods?
Just go to the Base Nautique de La Villette where there are numerous water rowing activities. It’s open to all, children as well as adults. You just need to prove that you can swim by presenting a swimming certificate. Great news for fans of this type of sport, who often have to travel a long way to carry out their favourite hobby. So, if visions of the Olympics cross your mind, or you are simply tempted by the joy of learning how to row, take a trip to the north of the capital.
