For the record-
the Bassin de la Villette is the largest artificial lake in Paris. It was opened on 2 December 1808. It is 800 meters long and 70 meters wide. It begins with the Pont de Crimée, the last hydraulic lift bridge in Paris, and ends with the Place de Stalingrad where La Rotonde Ledoux de la Villette is located.
The bassin is also home to a MK2 cinema complex whose originality, in addition to its presence in converted warehouses constructed from metal beams from the 1878 Exposition Universelle, is provided by an electric boat shuttle service connecting the cinemas on either shore.
North by the Quai de la Seine and to the south by the Quai de la Loire, linked by the Passerelle de la Moselle in their center.

About the area
The new Brooklyn of Paris
Vivid riverside living....
Barges are moored along the banks of the basin throughout the year offering cultural activities such as theater, cinema, concerts, etc.
In summer the banks of the basin are used by fishermen, pétanque players, and picnickers. On summer evenings it is not unusual for the left bank (exposed longer to the sun) to be occupied from one end to the other.
Every year in June is the festival of the basin. There are festive activities on both sides (concerts, mini-shows, exhibitions). The celebration ends with a big fireworks display from the bridge.
The Lifting bridge of the Rue de Crimée or Pont de Flandre, a lifting bridge weighing 85 tons built in 1885, separates the two basins. It allows traffic on the Rue de Crimée to cross the canal and connects the Quai de l'Oise on the north-west side to the Quai de la Marne on the south-east side. When the bridge is raised pedestrian traffic can still continue on a fixed elevated walkway. At the time of its construction it was the third largest lifting bridge to be built in France. It is now the last one in Paris and is registered as an historical monument.
The second basin measures 30 m wide and 730 m long. This basin, which is often prematurely named the Canal de l'Ourcq, originally ran along the back of the old village of La Villette.
At its northern end is the "roundabout of canals" where the Bassin de la Villette converges with the Canal de l'Ourcq (which brings water for more than 100 km from the river Ourcq) and the Saint-Denis canal which, with a length of 6,647 m and a slope of 28.45 m, joins the Seine at Saint-Denis, as well as the small Darse du fond de Rouvray canal (a port for the canal ferry boats).
Since 2007 an extension of the Paris-Plages has taken possession of a large part of the quay of the Seine and offers taverns, restaurants, boat rides, children's play area, petanque, etc.
Rowing is practiced throughout the year on the water.
On the Quai de la Seine there are the Sup de Pub and Sup Career schools which are both INSEEC Business Schools.

Welcome to Paris!
It was our dream to live on a boat and to be as close to Paris as possible.
We were very lucky to find a boat which is moored within the city!
Cadaques, mooring in the center of Paris with a lot of space and rooms not to feel squeezed in a can and room enough to invite all our kids and family.
Quality is our motto-
Good mattresses and toppers, new duvets, pillows and covers, as well as new towels and tableware.
It is a special place for people who appreciate special things.
Be our guest and stay a weekend or even a week and we are sure you will love it, as we do and return.
This is our private home, so please respect our personal belongings and decoration. No shoes on board please.
Thank you!
