Boating in Paris

Boating has a country feel to it. For lovers (or future lovers), it is ultra romantic. For those who live in an apartment in Paris, it's a breath of fresh air and gives an air of vacation. And when it's sunnyIt's really pleasant! If sportsmen find this activity boring, don't be mistaken, rowing for 1 hour is not a walk in the park! It's a good exercise to build up your arms and legs. The small children love it and this is a chance to teach them how to row. And teens (without parents) will have a great time! Don't forget your hats and sunscreen!
