Canal Barboteur: the barge that changes the quays of Paris into a free open-air venue - upcoming events

The Canal Barboteur, the roving barge that transforms the quays of northeastern Paris into a huge free open-air venue, is back for another edition! From spring through to autumn, this almost 20-metre vessel, full of positive vibes, will be cruising the capital's canals, disembarking at several ephemeral spots with its turntables and funky cocktails.

In summer, the season of glory for any self-respecting open air, the Canal Barboteur will be beached every weekend at a new address, from La Villette to Bobigny, via Pantin or Louis-Blanc. And the party's guaranteed! The music pulses, the bar overflows, and the crazy energy spreads along the banks.

What's on the program? Free shows and activities, culinary discoveries, but above all, a friendly, good-natured atmosphere where the only watchword is to have fun!

No fuss on board, here everything happens on the quay. Loungers for chilling out, wooden games for fun, an ultra-cool cultural program and meetings that promise to be as epic as the barge's evenings.

So if you're looking for a fun, open-air evening with friends, follow the sound of Canal Barboteur!
