This event shakes up the rules of traditional late-night clubbing by offering a relaxed afternoon format, running from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. On the music side, it's the resident DJ La Jaillance who takes command of the decks to get the crowd moving as the long-awaited sun returns. To match the California-meets-retro vibe of the occasion, organizers strongly encourage attendees to let their style shine: sequined swimsuits, vintage sunglasses, and a touch of gold are highly recommended to glow on the deck and dazzle the tourists.

No need to pack a picnic: a gourmet stand is on board to satisfy ravenous appetites with burgers and sweet waffles for a snack, paired with a menu of fresh cocktails to sip with a view of the Eiffel Tower and the banks of the Seine.
