About this house rental
Choose now this very exclusive and rare listing.
We actually don't rent this houseboat during all the year and we cannot accept everyone due do the restricions, this amazing place would be non-available soon.
We host people since many years and only a few people had the chance to stay on Aquarelle.
The boat is in the tradition of the Seine River cargo beautifully designed
It is a barge that doesn't leave the ground floor. The engine is in fonction but we dont suggest that you turn it on and have a trip by your own, its a big barge and driving in the Seine require very good skills.
The "Peniche" boat has all the commodities and is like a big appartement in the center of Paris.
You cannot beat the view with the Alexander 3 bridge in front of the first terrace, the Invalides bridge and Eiffel tower on the other side terrace.
You will be around the most beautiful buildings like the Grand and Petit Palais and the most prestigious embassies and the French president Palace of Elysée.
All the most touristic places of paris that you can see on the postal cards or online about the beauty of Paris are walking distance for the boat.
Exemples : You can walk to the Champs Elysée, Arc de triomphe, Grand Palais, Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Invalides Museum,Train stations, Metro station.
There is also very nice cafés and Clubs in front of the boat for the nighttime.
The boat itself is very convenient and large with three beautiful bedrooms with large confortable beds ( photos of the rooms are not yet available due to delays with photographer).
There is a very good security system in the boat with an alarm and calling station.
The boat has an equipped kitchen, with a microwave oven/convection, fridge, stove, dishwasher, drinkable hot/cold water. Kitchen tools and wine glasses, table set, and basic ingredients like tea coffee, spices, oils, salt and pepper, nice liquors...
There is also the bedsheets and towels provided.
There is a washing machine / dryer in the boat.
We also installed two TVs, one is in the living room and one in the first room with also internet wifi everywhere on the boat.
The bathroom have a nice sink and a bath. The toilets are separated.
The boat Is not suitable for very old people and disabled handicapped person. We also not accept children from 2 to 12 years old, It's too dangerous as if they dont know how to swim and play around they could fall in the river.
There are stairs near the boat that are easily attainable by swim but we declain any responsibility and warn you that it is completely forbidden and dangerous to be in the water.
During the Day, with the passage of the tourists boats and the Police, there could be some waves that will create some mouvements until the traffic completely stop in the night.
When you book the boat, you also book Quentin which is the boat keeper available at any time.
He knows Paris like no one else does and would help you to make you trip much easier and enjoyable.
Don't hesitate to ask him by message any questions he would answer fast day and night with pleasure.
You can find his number on the host details.

Great experience with amazing view. Centrally located and great host. Boat is older but that adds charm to the property. Some spaces are tight but it’s understandable your on a boat. Best part is sitting outside with wine watching the city pass you by! Very unique experience while in Paris.

The rain kept us from fully enjoying the boat (ie no sitting outside with wine and cheese) but that was no fault of the boat itself which was clean and comfortable. Very well located and safe.

Best view as the night falls. From midnight to 9 am there is no more river traffic - sleeping is very peaceful. Great central location - easy walk over bridge for any grocery or markets. Same side for the must see sights. Our host was responsive and easy check in and out.

We loved the boat, the location, and the views. My 2 female friends and I walked back earlier than the others one night After midnight one evening and were totally safe. It's a convenient location..a short walk to the Eiffel Tower and Champ-Elysses to the Arc D'triumphe. The cleanliness of the boat left a lot to be desired, however. We were only there 2 nights mostly to sleep, so we stuck it out. There is a strong mold smell that stayed in our clothes and we are now washing all of our clothes in Brussels on the 2nd part of our trip. Additionally, there was a layer of dust on most surfaces and the tables and benches had to be cleaned with disinfecting wipes that one of my friends happened to have. We would love to stay here again if the place goes through a good cleaning. We know this wasn't going to be a fancy place and it is a bit rustic: that would have been fine if it was cleaner, I'm sorry to say. I did reach out to the house prior to writing this review cause I don't like to write negative reviews without communicating first. I was told that the smell is a typical 'boat smell' and the dust is because Paris is dusty and after 2 days, the dust settles. I'll leave it at that.
