Houseboats In Paris

Go to tripadvisor.com, type in paris forum, then type in houseboats in the search box and you will get lots of houseboat advice.

Haven't done it, but have researched it a bit. Locaboat is one of several houseboat rental agencies in Europe(www.locaboat.com). They appear very well organized, with many boats and routes to serve a wide clientele. Realize that while houseboat rental could be a fascinating alternative to land travel, it is not cheap. Be sure to research all add-on fees (such as fuel!) which can escalate your cost in a hurry.

I may have misread the OP's question. I was thinking cruising boat/barge type, not stationary houseboat. If the latter is what was meant, please disregard my reply.

I've used locaboat quite a bit to get cruisng boats for the canals. I was unaware that they have anything to do with stationary boats or that they have an operation in Paris. I'b be real leary of staying on a houseboat, especially along the river. The Seine is in a concrete ditch as it cuts through the city the noise from the tour boats reverberates preety good, plus, there's the matter of wake bump. Then the business of the heavy street traffic along the upper quai. To top it off, walk along the lower quai and look at the metal plates that encircle the mooring lines those things are called rat guards: There's a reason for them: walk along the lower quai with a flashlight one night and shoot it under the shore side of the bridge structure. If you can get one on St Martin or the little recreational marina at it's lower end, you'd be better off I have no idea if they exist. Or save the idea for Amsterdam or something.

I've seen stationary houseboats for rent, but don't think they have self-drive house boats to take through Paris. If you are looking for ones just moored to live on I found them under bed and breakfast when we thought have trying one. Example -
