Petit Bain, Floating bar and concert venue on Seine river, Paris, France
Petit Bain is a restaurant and concert hall housed on a three-level barge moored at Port de la Gare along the Seine river. The venue spreads across multiple decks with dining areas, a bar, and performance spaces where live music takes place throughout the week.
The barge was repurposed as a cultural space in 2011, adding to the network of music and art venues along the Seine in Paris. This conversion allowed the floating structure to become an active part of the city's entertainment landscape.
The venue draws people interested in electronic and experimental sounds, with each level offering different spaces to experience live performances and gatherings. Music and dining blend naturally throughout the floating structure, creating a space where artists and guests share the same evening together.
The venue opens daily at noon and closes at midnight on regular days, with extended hours until 2 AM on Thursday through Saturday nights. It is wise to plan visits in advance, especially for weekend evenings, as events can reach full capacity.
The rooftop terrace opens to unobstructed views of the Seine and the surrounding cityscape, allowing visitors to watch Paris from the water. Few people realize they can enjoy meals with this perspective while being anchored so close to the National Library.
