Flow, Houseboat bar at Port des Invalides, Paris, France.
Flow is a houseboat-based bar and restaurant situated near Pont Alexandre III along the Seine. The vessel houses a rooftop terrace, restaurant seating, and a dance floor across its floating structure.
The venue opened at Port des Invalides, bringing modern entertainment to this section of the Seine's right bank where river transport has long played a role. This location carries a legacy connected to the river's historical use for movement and commerce.
Peruvian dishes like ceviches and empanadas form the core of the menu here. This South American culinary approach stands out among riverside dining spots in the neighborhood.
The venue is best visited in the evening when the dance floor comes alive and entertainment reaches its peak. On clear nights, the rooftop terrace offers unobstructed views across the river toward the surrounding monuments.
The floating dance floor creates an unusual experience where guests party directly over the water with views of the Eiffel Tower and Grand Palais. Few other nightlife spots in the city offer this combination of dancing on a moving vessel.

Paris has about thirty floating venues and bars along the Seine, Marne, and canals. These establishments offer waterside dining areas, often accompanied by musical or cultural events. There are various types of locations: converted barges as restaurants, terraces built directly on quays, historic sites along the Marne, and some accessible only by boat. Some have been around for decades and are among the highly rated floating venues, while others have recently opened to meet the increasing demand for outdoor spaces in the city. The offerings are diverse. There are traditional venues with musette dance music, rooftop cocktail bars, Mediterranean restaurants, and places that combine dining with entertainment halls. Most are located within Paris city limits, with a few found in nearby suburbs, particularly along the Marne in Joinville-le-Pont and Champigny-sur-Marne. Most operate mainly during good weather, though some remain open year-round in heated indoor spaces.
