Péniche Antipode, Floating restaurant and bar in the 19th arrondissement, Paris
Péniche Antipode is a floating restaurant and bar moored on a canal in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. The boat has an interior with wood and metal fittings, along with an outdoor deck where guests can sit facing the water.
The boat was originally used for other purposes before being converted into a restaurant and bar. Over time, it became a regular part of life along the canal in the 19th arrondissement.
The Péniche Antipode is a member of the Collectif Canal 19, a group of local spots that organizes events and keeps the canal area active. The boat occasionally hosts live music and small performances, giving the evenings a personal and informal feel.
The boat sits a little away from the busiest routes in the neighborhood, so it is worth checking the exact spot along the canal before heading there. It generally opens in the late afternoon, and booking ahead can be useful on event nights.
Since the summer, the boat has introduced a reusable glass system shared with other bars in the neighborhood, allowing customers to carry the same glass from one place to the next. The project was set up to cut down on waste during a night out.
