Welcome at the New Guinguette : Monday evening at the borders of the Seine, a smell of chicken and barbecue in the summerevening. On a boat a little jazz band invites to dance. Under the little lampions at long wooden tables people are chatting, eating and flirting : Welcome at the New Guinguette. The guinguette although two centuries old is alive and kicking. In the 18th century the guinguette was a very popular way to find a husband, the prices were democratic and the locations very beautiful. Nowadays it became hip again with the same recipe.

What can be more romantic than a guinguette in Paris ? At the quay next to Batofar you can find such a place. Prices are very democratic. You eat on the quay and the band plays on the boat.  Sunday they are in for a musical brunch,  Monday evening they organize a jazzconcert.
