There are about 10 recreation centers around Paris where you can enjoy sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking. One of them, in Choisy-le-Roy, is only about 15 minutes away from the center of Paris (check the list – in French - here). Of course, I did not not take this photo there, but at the Tuileries gardens, where they also offer sailing… but with toy boats that they rent by the hour (for 4 euros).
