Try the boat trips on the Marne, a good cheap plan for your summer weekends!
The river shuttles on the Marne, between Neuilly-sur-Marne and Gournay-sur-Marne, come back every summer. The Passeurs de Marne offer you the possibility to discover the banks of Neuilly-Plaisance or Gournay-sur-Marne by sailing from one bank to the other with shuttles.
Aboard the catalantes, small 12-seater boats, you'll discover the wild Marne, its flora and fauna (grey herons, terns, ducks, swans and their young, gulls, gallinules, coots...). Sailors from the Au Fil de l'eau association will help you discover this verdant landscape and explain their approach to protecting natural environments.
>> Modification June 2024: The pontoon at Gournay-sur-Marne has been badly damaged by flooding on the Marne. All rides departing from Gournay are therefore cancelled. <<
Every weekend, between July 6 and September 01, 2024, you could navigate for a few euros in a loop from Neuilly-Plaisance or from Gournay-sur-Marne. The single trip lasts about 50 minutes.
