A UNIQUE MARINA

A new location in Paris, where you can have a rich and diverse experience on the Seine

QUAI DE LA PHOTO

Quai de la Photo is a barge that is open both towards the quay and towards the river, with a large terrace on the banks. It is both an art center, dedicated to photography, a welcoming restaurant, and a marina for our boats. With some industrial accents, its architecture blends in particularly well with the surroundings, close to the Josephine Baker swimming pool and the neighboring barges.

an unusual boat shed

On the quay, two containers were converted as outside bars, framing a nice terrace providing some shade where you will find exhibits of young contemporary photographers.

On the river, the barge is conceived as a boat shed, with three different deckspaces and an indoor canal going through it. The upper deck houses the restaurant and bookstore while the lower deck is the main exhibition space. Linking them, the middle deck is open to the canal and gives access to the boats.

the seine as an atmosphere

With its indoor canal, Quai de la Photo is an original and unique home base, both in Paris and in France. The presence of the boats inside the building participate in the creation of the singular ambiance of Quai de la Photo.

Built in Dieppe (Normandy) and conveyed to Paris on the Seine, this cultural and celebratory location is in a strong relationship with the river, as you can also use it as a door to escape on a cruise.

IMMEDIATE BOARDING

As a new place to board for a cruise in Paris, a departure from Quai de la Photo offers a route slightly extended beyond the historical center. You will be able to discover an area that of the city that was more recently planned, with banks that were completely overhauled. As such, you can embark on a cruise from the young and dynamic National Library neighborhood, and then enjoy our various boats Murano, Lugano, Fårö and Kaïros.

A contemporary Paris
