A must-see
A legendary attraction
Why not let yourself be tempted by a unique and soothing cruise?
The Enchanted River is one of the Jardin d'Acclimatation's iconic attractions.
It has been in operation for almost a century.
You'll be delighted to discover this tranquil little river whose canoes have carried generations of children since 1927.
Its secret? Don't tell anyone: a paddle wheel, a real mechanical jewel, hidden between the landing stage and the landing stage, which activates the current to propel the boats.
It's a serene and environmentally-friendly way to sail, in complete calm. Take a seat aboard one of our 10 boats, named after the nearest localities, for five minutes and thirty seconds of zen-like relaxation.
A photo souvenir!
But there's more to our journey than gentle inactivity.
Along the river, adorned with climbing wisteria and lined with pergolas offering regenerating shade, we'll go from surprise to surprise. Watch out for animals and music. In season, misters are set up all along our modest, but spirited, river to deposit welcome water on your hair.
Last but not least, a camera awaits you, hidden in the reeds, a few metres before you arrive.
You've no idea how many celebrities have left our river with a snapshot to keep for life.
You can do it too!
