This classic riverboat is moored right in the middle of Paris, in the 8th arrondissement, between Place de la Concorde and the Grand Palais. It is also one of the oldest marinas in Paris. Within walking distance of many amazing sights and roaring nightlife, this péniche will give you the experience in Paris you want!
Houseboat description
This classic péniche has its interior made in 70s, in the Netherlands. Since it is all wood, the interior is very clean and spacious. Specially in the summer, when you can also open many windows. In the winter, the central heating makes sure you experience nothing from the winter cold outside. As the heat diffuses through the wood, the péniche will be warm and cozy.
It is very easy to reach, as there are many stations for bus and metro nearby.
Musée d'Orsay, le Grand Palais, Jardin des Tuileries, le Louvre, le Avenue des Champs-Elysées: these are all places that are walking distance from the boat!
The boat has a fully equipped kitchen, internet, TV and a washing machine. There is a terrace/sundeck that allows you to have lunch or dinner outside while having a gorgeous view of the energetic city around you.
Come stay, and experience Paris the way you should!

The Peniche Joel is just incredible. We loved every single minute spending on this lovely houseboat. With many elaborate details and accessories it's fully equipped with everything you need including a great kitchen and a warm shower. It's very practical that you can park just next to the boat. The boat keeper gave us a warm welcome. Nice and cosy for up to 4 people. It's just FANTASTIC!
Lovely warm boat - very welcoming

We had a great weekend on the boat. It was easily roomy enough for the three of us, and lovely and warm. The kitchen was great, allowing us to cook some meals, though Paris doesn't lack for nice options to buy. The nespresso machine was also welcome! The location was very convenient within walking distance of almost everything we did. Marc was very good at communicating prior to arrival, and very welcoming once we were there.

Absolute stunning houseboat
Added by: Sarah, date added: , country: Belgium
WOW! I have to say that this was quite an experience. I live in Belgium and visit Paris quite often, but decided to go for something different for this visit, and different it was! Marc's boat is absolutely stunning and beyond comfortable (and quite cozy)- so much so you wouldn't know you're staying on a boat- all that was missing was a fireplace! Unfortunately we weren't able to take advantage of the rooftop seating as the weather was quite cold, but in the summer this would definitely be the ideal airbnb to let! Absolutely fantastic stay- no complaints at all, easy in, easy out! Lovely time!
Guaranteed return

To put shortly: the host is amazing, the boat is great, and of course Paris is amazing. Unique experience!
Marc The houseboat is in the family since the early 1970's, and we have decided to start renting it in order to continually improve it!
I am 26, married with a child, and fascinated by maritime and international affairs. Having worked as a skipper and deckhand on sailing yachts and superyachts during four years in the Med, I understand what is service and the kind of experience that people expect when they chose a maritime one. There is nothing that I love more than sharing my passion about boating, and I hope you will feel it in the service that we propose!
