Boat traffic between the Pont de Saint-Cloud and the Pont de Neuilly
The route mainly follows the Seine towpath, close to the river, and should not be attempted during periods of high water. Many houseboats are permanently moored along the route, which ends at the foot of the impressive towers of La Défense.
Do not undertake this trip when the Seine is in flood.
