Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We pass through here often on the way to Marche Joinville, (see review), we love this open spance of water it adds to the beauty of the canal, it is very popular with hire and rowing boats, especially on the weekends.

    We did the double (full) experience. It was one of the BEST EXPERIENCES we've ever had. We had so much fun for almost two full hours. It was like an escape room meets live theater. If you're in Paris, GO!!!

    This whole Centre will blow your mind as it is all so unexpected - you have no idea of the excitement here and it has so many layers to explore. You will see many people exercising and dancing whilst being videoed or filmed, youngsters in the creche, people having a meal or a coffee in the eclectic bar/bistro ( very friendly staff and speak great English). There are often exhibitions on to enjoy - we saw two which were amazing. Then we found a new shop recently opened with some WOW items from Africa - fabrics, sculptures, jewelery and collectable items at an affordable price.
    All, I want to say is find time to visit this art complex and you wont be disappointed - its a hidden gem but has been open for over 10 year now and is growing in stature.

    The bookshop is very nice but the brunch was overpriced, tea of poor quality, understaffed, 1 small toast - avocado, salmon, scrambled eggs. I had to go to the counter to look for butter because the serveur was not sure if there was still butter - it’s a brunch for God’s sake .

    Went past bridge walking on canal and hadnt realised how it worked..on way back saw boats going through and it was interesting to see the bridge being risen above streets to let boats underneath and then sunk back down again...all bridges before have been ones that swing open rather than rise...amazing engineering in action

    It was very nice tour. They cover main spots in Paris and give intro to each spot. Organisers are really friendly. We had some delay and they help us to catch the tour in between. They provide all the necessary information beforehand. Definitely recommended!

    We stopped in on this boat-bar while walking along the canal. The drinks were pretty rough, though fairly cheap, and the location had a cool vibe. We also hired a petanque set and played next to the boat alongside many other locals. Overall a good experience if you happen to be walking past.

    located of the canal next to the lift bridge, is this public space, this is a popular place for buskers within the rotunda, there is plenty of seating, to watch the world go by.
