Bal de la Marine, Floating bar at Port de Suffren, Paris, France
Bal de la Marine is a double-deck boat moored at Port de Suffren that operates as a restaurant and bar combined. It features a dining space indoors, an outdoor terrace with a dance floor and stage, all arranged to face toward the Eiffel Tower and the Seine.
The boat began operating in 2017 as a new entertainment venue on the Seine. It came about through a partnership between people who shared a passion for maritime traditions and river culture.
The boat serves as a gathering place for people connected to maritime life and river traditions, creating a space where the Seine's nautical heritage remains alive. You can feel the connection to water-based culture simply by being on board and watching the river flow around you.
The best time to visit is after dark, when the city lights and Eiffel Tower illumination create the right mood. You can reach it easily by metro using Trocadero or Bir Hakeim stations, both offering direct access to the riverside.
A Peruvian restaurant aboard serves food while boats pass on the river and the illuminated Eiffel Tower watches over the scene. This combination of riverside dining, boat traffic, and nighttime city lights creates a moment you won't find elsewhere in Paris.
