Once past the Notre Dame Cathedral, the waiting pontoon for the Port de Plaisance de Paris-Arsenal was clearly visible on the right bank. We contacted the Capitainerie staff, who could see us on their closed circuit TV, and they prepared the lock so that we could enter the marina. I am writing this as we are moored safely in the marina and still find it amazing that, for 36 Euros per night, we are able to moor in the centre of Paris alongside the Bastille Monument. Try getting a hotel room in Paris for that price!
