The paquebot
1963, redesigned in 1997 by Olivier Flahault

Le Paquebot is an immense floating palace covering 700 sq.m. It exudes an aura of the golden age when transatlantic liners vied with each other in terms of luxury and savoir-vivre. The spirit of Le Normandie can still be felt on its monumental stairways; the soul of the Queen Mary is present in the 86 metre long dining room; souvenirs from Le France are everywhere on the triple deck, the ships rail, the launches, the imposing chimneys. Here is the library, which used to be the smoking room, echoing the splendour of days gone by. Le Paquebot, the largest boat on the Seine, is ideal for any grandiose and imaginative event.

Nostalgic passengers will think for a moment that they are on an ocean liner; others will discover that a venue for an 800 guest reception in Paris can have a soul.
