I don’t have much to add to Clubbing on a funky Parisian junk, a refreshing piece by Doreen Carjaval for Globespotters.
She tells us about the many lives of this Asian boat, a Jonque, until its current incarnation as La Dame de Canton.
The boat now plays host to bands and DJ’ s of various stripes be it Gypsy, Reggae, Afro Pop or Chanson.
You can choose to have dinner on the vessel prior to the show.
Today, March 18, Klezmer is on the Menu.
Not cruising the Seine as a Bateau Mouche does, it instead is anchored near the Bibliotheque Nationale.
They do not cater only to grown ups, kids get their share on Wednesdays with afternoon shows.
From what I gathered from the piece, the club attracts mostly the local crowd.
Traveling to Thailand soon, the Fortune Junk Boat offers Daily Trips and Overnight Cruises on their Jonque.
