Remote Controlled Boats at Jardin des Tuileries.

You’re probably already aware that Jardin des Tuileries has 40 hectors of green inbetween place de la Concorde and the Louvre, that the Jardin is located south of the Seine and north side of Rue Du Rivoli…. you may also already know that the gardens construction was decided by Catherine de Médicis. Apart from the splendid gardens, ice cream stands and public benches, what else is there to do at Jardin des Tuileries?

To pass a social moment (not a tourism moment), there is a year-round activity that could be considered unique, remote controlled boats in the annexe basin (not the circular or octagonal basins). to participate look for a man with white hair and a beard, his name is Allan, this is the person who will rent you the remote controlled boats, typcially, most will rent the boats for 30 minutes, during this time, if you wish, you wil learn about the boats which Allan handmade himself, each boat is made of wood and has, on average, took 30 hours of craftsmanship for each boat.

Allan can be found around the basin all year around, the only days he won’t be there is when the water is frozen (winter). so next time you’re looking to do something a little different, why not try the remote controlled boats, there’s more to Jardin des Tuleries than people think, and you’ll be surprised, its not only children that take up Allan’s 30 minute offer.
