Le Grand Bleu

Quai de la Rapée, 75012 Paris, France

Le Grand Bleu offers a barge that can be hired exclusively for private and business events on the Seine in Paris. The boat can cruise during the reception or remain moored, depending on the format chosen and the organisers' wishes. This setting is particularly suited to weddings, birthdays, christenings and private parties, as well as seminars, conferences, product launches, company drinks receptions and team days.

The spaces can be adapted to suit different parts of an event: meetings or presentations, sit-down meals, drinks receptions and festive evenings. The panoramic lounge has wide windows overlooking the river, while the upper deck offers a covered outdoor space. Depending on the layout chosen, the barge can accommodate up to 80 people for a sit-down dinner and around 150 for a drinks reception. Equipment for business events is also available, including a sound system, projector, microphones and Wi-Fi.

Exclusive hire can be combined with catering, with customisable menus and formats ranging from buffets and cocktail bites to a table-served dinner. The team can also coordinate waiting staff, decorations, flowers, musical entertainment and other options to suit the event. Organisers can therefore arrange the venue and several onboard services through a dedicated contact, or choose a more limited package.

Moored at quai de la Rapée for events in Paris, the barge offers a central departure point and can take guests on a cruise past the capital's landmarks. Exclusive hire enquiries are assessed individually and quoted according to the date, number of guests, duration and services required.
