Marin d'eau douce

In Lille, take the time to discover the river Deûle in a different way by boarding an electric boat without a license. Since 2019, Marin d?Eau Douce has been offering an experience accessible to all, departing from its base on avenue Mathias Delobel, in the heart of Parc de la Citadelle, close to the zoo, Cita Parc and opposite Jardin Vauban. Sailing is possible from April to October. There are two options to suit all tastes. A one-hour trip takes you down the Canteleu arm, along the Quai de l'Ouest du Bois Blanc towards EuraTechnologies. For a more complete immersion, two-hour or longer tours explore up to 20 kilometers around Lille, alternating between urban landscapes and natural areas. The fleet comprises 22 boats, offering a wide range of departure options. Youngsters are not forgotten, with mini-boats accessible to children under 9 accompanied by an adult. To prolong the moment, the captain's guinguette offers a gourmet break on the quayside or directly on board, with charcuterie boards, tapas and drinks.
