16 minutes from the station Chatelet Les Halles (or bike from Paris, crossing the Bois de Vincennes) there is a little paradise. An eden where you can surf on the water, slide the channel Polangis, and glide around our carfree island FANAC

Beginner lesson : First steps followed by an accompanied trip lasts a bit more than a hour and a half, for the price of € 29 
Got a little scared the first three minutes, and then you gain confidence and you see that it is finally easy. It is great experience standing on the water, and even taking the time to enjoy the scenery and greet stunned walkers.

Conditions : We practice in shorts and barefoot, except in winter when combined suit and slippers give comfort.
You will wear a buoiancy aid that is given to you. Take clothes in case ... (less than 10% falls on the Marne for initiations). Young people accompanied must be at least 10 years old and 1.50 m tall
