The basics

A pretty artificial lake in the northeast of Paris, the Bassin de la Villette is celebrated as both a cultural hub and a relaxing place to enjoy the fresh air. Host to cafes, movie theaters (including the MK2 Quai de Loire and the MK2 Quai de Seine), and live music venues (including La Péniche Anako), the lake is also just a quick stroll from the Parc de la Villette, which itself offers ample green spaces and museum attractions.

The Bassin de la Villette is included on off-the-beaten-track tour itineraries and is featured on various canal tours of the city. It’s also easy to discover independently.
