Über diesen Tip
Rowing boats can be hired on Lac Daumesnil, a short walk from Porte Dorée metro at the western edge of the Bois de Vincennes. The lake covers about 12 hectares and has two islands, so a slow lap makes an easy outdoor break. The rental is seasonal, from late winter into early autumn, and sources differ on the end date, so confirm with the operator before you go late in the year. Pick a clear weekday afternoon for calm water.
