“Batofar” is a 147 foot ship in the Seine that hosts some of the most exciting alternative music parties in Paris. Great DJs and an extremely innovative environment make this a memorable way to dance away the evening. This is particularly fun in the warm summer months when you can sip your aperitif on the deck of the boat. Check their Web site for information. (In French).
