About this property

Very rare and exclusive location for the romantiques

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.

Like a Dream Living on the Sienne for Two Weeks

You will never beat being on the River with the Alexander III on one end and the Eiffel Tower on the other. Steps from everything in the heart of Paris--what a special adventure. It's a 100 year old boat, and all that entails, meaning ladders + rocking etc--but it was a one of a kind experience & there is nothing like setting on the back of the boat watching the sun set over the Eiffel Tower. Everyone is walking by taking photo shots of "your" place every day. Awesome experience.

Houseboat on the Seine in the heart of Paris.

Staying on this houseboat made our trip to Paris extraordinary— we loved it! The views of the bridges and Eiffel Tower from the decks were beautiful, every room charming. We were a close walk to the subway and in a wonderful part of Paris. Quentin, our host, was gracious and helpful. It was lovely to feel and see the river around us. I was there with my adult children, and it was a perfect setting for the family to be together. We will come back again to this sweet little boat if we return to Paris and it is available. Thank you, Quentin, for your advice during our stay.

Great family experience

We had a wonderful stay. The location couldn't be better and the property manager was very responsive and helpful. Remember that it is a boat and not a five-star hotel but it provides you a lot of room and two unique decks to hang out, read a book, and watch the world go by. It was a perfect base to explore Paris. I hope we have a chance to return someday!

Best location possible!

Romantic definitely, but great for families as well. Amazing views of the Eiffel Tower on one end of the boat and the Alexander III Bridge on the other end. Located central to all of our chosen attractions and restaurants. Cozy and quiet during the day and enjoyed the many boats passing by at night. Already booked 4 more days to stay again. Unique and enjoyable. Glad we tried an alternative choice for lodging. If you book this boat, you will not be disappointed. What are you waiting for?

Really lovely

This is not your typical VRBO. The location and the nature of it being a boat is what absolutely sells this. It’s essential that you not have mobility problems because the ladders are steep, the hallways narrow and the boat rocks from time to time. However there is nothing else like this in Paris. You’ve got amazing views and just waking up to coffee on the deck over the Seine is unbelievable. The beds are very comfortable and the rocking stops at night so no worries there. However it is a lived in house … and the place is clean and well-appointed but still, it’s a boat. I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend for something completely different - would definitely stay again.

Unique base to explore Paris

We thoroughly enjoyed the unique perspective of seeing and exploring Paris from a Seine- level view. The life on the water, the nightly light show of Paris and the Eiffel Tower were highlights. It was easy to get everywhere we wished to be. The check in and check out process was so simple. The property manager was superb in communications that were clear and thorough.

Location location location!

A unique and wonderful experience. The best location. Not super luxurious, simple, clean and worth the trade off, just need to be open minded and not prone to seasickness and you will have a terrific view every day! Slept really well in the boat went to bed each night and woke up each morning to a view of the Eiffel Tower one direction and the Alexander the third bridge the other. Walk to the Louvre and wonderful shops and cafes. Beautiful neighborhood. Lounge on the deck in the evening with a glass of wine before dinner.

Fantastic location -charming home - lots of character -terrific host

We had an absolutely lovely time. Host was amazing and helpful. The location can’t be beat and is so charming - a rare opportunity to experience life in a houseboat on the Seine. The barge was well-equipped and warm (we were there in February). Beds very comfortable. It was quiet and the boat rocked a little but not at night. We brought pasties back for breakfast and made coffee and enjoyed leisurely mornings. The location was close to museums and the Eiffel Tower. Stunning views!!! One of our party takes a morning jog and enjoyed running along the river. The boat is rustic and lived in and that contributed to the charm. Stairs are narrow and need to use caution. Overall fantastic experience.

Grandios, macht Spaß!

Dies ist eine geniale Unterkunft, wenn man die Stadt erkunden möchte. Schön an der Seine gelegen mit dem Blick zum Eiffelturm, welchen man in 10 min zu Fuß erreicht. Wenn man entspannen möchte, kann man dies auf dem Deck tun, zur Freude der vorbeikommenden Leute. Um für viel Freude und Fotoereignisse zu sorgen, sollte man noch die vorhandene Kapitänsmütze aufsetzen! Sonst hat das Schiff alles, was man benötigt, inklusive kleiner rustikaler Treppen, welche man bei Seegang (durch vorbeikommende Touristenschiffe) mögen muss. Sollte man vorher üben, wieviel Wein man verträgt, um noch die Treppen rauf und runterzukommen. Das Schiff hat ein ordentliches Bad, welches abgekoppelt vom WC ist. Auch die Kajüten sind sehr stylisch eingerichtet, wer ein eifriger Leser ist, kann allein mit den vorhandenen Büchern Wochen dort verbringen! Der Check In und auch die Kommunikation mit dme Eigentümer war sehr unkompliziert! Kann ich jedem empfehlen.

Take out dinner under the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower

This is the best location in Paris. If you’re able bodied, don’t get motion sickness, and you prioritize walkability to major attractions, enjoy beautiful scenery (river views, Eiffel Tower & bridges) and like having a whole home and outdoor space to relax in and don’t mind a little eclectic clutter -this might be the perfect place for you. This isn’t the typical perfectly turned out and decorated VRBO that some of us US residents expect but rather a lived in rental with all the comforts of home. Find a book, play chess, curl up on the couch on the deck with your take out and a bottle of wine and enjoy watching life go by on the river and the sun go down behind the Eiffel Tower. The location can’t be beat. We walked to the Louvre (18 min) in the morning, to the metro, to the Champs Elysee, and to amazing take out restaurants. There wasn’t WiFi which wasn’t an issue for us but there was a great security system. We were two some traveling alone and we felt safe. The beds were comfortable, Quentin was an awesome host and extremely responsive, check out was quick and easy and he made finding and checking in easy, and we would check in again in a heart beat and recommend this to most people. The only negative is that it needs a deep cleaning but honestly it did feel pretty authentic. If you have mobile issues or don’t like enclosed spaces or have trouble with small stairs, this is NOT the rental for you. On the other hand if you’re a romantic or wan an adventure or something other than a sterile hotel room this might be right up your alley!

Could not have been better!

We were celebrating a 60th Birthday. Staying on the boat made this one of the most memorable trips of a lifetime. Someone made coffee while someone else went to Angelina’s and got pastries and then we all gathered around the wooden table of the cozy leather banquet and planned our day each morning. Evenings brought us to the deck drinking champagne with charcuterie while watching the Eiffel Tower twinkle. We walked to everything! One day was sunny and beautiful and one of our group planned their day around hanging out on the boat, lounging in the sun on the deck, reading, etc. I can’t wait to stay here again❤️

Wonderful setting and location

We had a wonderful week on the boat. Great location and fun to watch the world go by on the Seine. The boat is very rustic and I would not recommend it to anyone who has mobility issues. You are on a boat and there are ladders between each level. For those looking for something different and with an adventurous spirit.

Great location!

This barge boat is more centrally located than any other lodging in Paris, with views of Les Invalides, and the Eiffel Tower, and just a short walk to Museé d’Orsay and several other fascinating sites. The deck furniture really added to the special value of our stay. Great AC, comfortable bedrooms, and everything else we needed for our stay. The only caution I would mention is for people with mobility issues. Like most boats, the steps are steep between levels. The toilet room is on the upper level while the bedrooms are down below. We highly recommend this place and appreciated the care the owner gave toward making our stay pleasant.

Do NOT miss this unique opportunity!!

“A Houseboat?!” said the husband. Is there AC? (Yes - very cool in each room - works great!), Is there a shower? (Yes, it IS handheld but not a problem), Are the beds comfortable? (Yes, very!), Is there security? (Yes, a very good system), and there’s a washer/dryer/dishwasher, too. Now the boat wasn’t built in 2022 or anything, so it is a bit rustic and if you are a clean freak, this may not be for you, it is not pristine, as you will share the lounge areas on the deck with spiders who make their webs there - know that they are there to help catch all the bugs and were not in our way at all - we coexisted quite peacefully - don’t tear down their homes!! They are an asset for bug-catching! Mostly, I told my friends I wouldn’t trade this houseboat for all the hotel rooms in Paris. You cannot and will not have near the same experience as you will staying here. Convenient to walk to absolutely everything and Quentin is a marvelous host! It is a constant parade of fun on the Seine passing your boat but the beauty is the bedrooms are cool and quiet below deck. I will never stay anywhere else in Paris in the future if this place is available. I miss it already!
