Lovely walks on the water, departing from Alfortville, Joinville-le-Pont, Neuilly-Plaisance, Neuilly-sur-Marne or Lagny-sur-Marne, for a new year. You can also enjoywater sports activities on the Marne, as well as walks along a path where biodiversity and landscapes are preserved. Despite its proximity to the capital, the Marne abounds in bucolic spots where you can take a breath of fresh air and observe the flora and fauna along its banks. The cruises are led by historians, enthusiasts and local players, as well as brewers for tastings on the water!

Come on board Le Francilien, a boat designed to protect and maintain the ecosystem of the Marne, accessible to people with reduced mobility. It's even possible to bring your bike aboard, to extend the cruise on land to cultural excursions!
