Peniche Marcounet

Le Marais, Ménilmontant & Belleville


Moored by the Pont Marie in the Parc Rives de Seine, this beautiful 1925-built timber barge has a cosy bar onboard, and a fabulous umbrella-shaded summer terrace on the banks with tables made from wooden pallets. Year-round, live gigs range from jazz, blues and tango to French chanson swing. Craft beers, cocktails and natural wines complement a barbecue-skewed menu and fantastic weekend brunch.
