Boat Rowing on a Lake in Bois De Vincennes : Beginners Welcome!

*** Activity only maintained in case of good SUNNY weather ***

Dear all,

I suggest we do some boat rowing on a lake in a very beautiful spot.

Kindly note that this activity is only for those who are interested in rowing: for walks there will be other activities coming soon!

First, we will take the Coulée Verte path from Bastille to Bois de Vincennes (5 km).

Meeting point: 11 am, Bastille, on the steps of Opéra Bastille.

Then, once in the Bois de Vincennes, we will rent boats that are very easy to use, even if you are a complete beginner!

I suggest we book one boat for 2 people, for 1 hour. So each person will row for 30 minutes, and then we will switch.

We don't have to book boats in advance.

You will have to carry your ID on you and 20 euros in cash as a deposit.

1 hour for a boat for 2 people = 1 5€ (7,5€ per person) + deposit Protected content . You get your deposit back if you don't lose your paddles in the middle of the lake 😄.

Afterwards, we will stroll in the park and go to the "peacock island" with several marvellous peacocks.

Please bring a picnic with you and some drinking water - all the cafés in this park are usually overcrowded. A cloth to use as a blanket would come handy - I guess the ground is still cold.

If you are running late, please send me a WhatsApp message before 11 am - I will then share our real time location with you, and you will be able to catch up with the group.
