    Hiking

    The Luxembourg Gardens in Paris are a lovely place to sail miniature boats! In the central pond, known as the “Grand Bassin”, you can rent small wooden sailboats and steer them with a wooden pole. This activity, called “Les Voiliers du Luxembourg”, is a historical tradition that has entertained children and adults for generations. ⛵

    Hiking

    Around the Grand Bassin there are several stands where wooden boats are rented. The normal thing is to rent it for half an hour and the price should currently be around three euros or so.
    Children have fun renting sailboats to sail around the pond. The system is very rudimentary. We put the boat in the water and with a small rod we give it a push. The air moves the boat where it wants and you chase it until it gets close to the shore again and you push it again towards the center of the pond.

    Hiking

    The park is also famous for the picturesque Medici Fountain and the large pond where children can sail model boats. It is a popular spot for both locals and tourists who want to relax and enjoy nature in the heart of Paris.
