CSR event: how to organize a real-impact business event?
The Thalassa boat in Paris is not an ordinary barge: it is a piece of French audiovisual history that has now found a second life as a place of restoration, conviviality and social transformation in the heart of the 15th arrondissement. At Quai Liberté, this mythical boat, formerly associated with the program Thalassa, has become an engaged restaurant in Paris where gastronomy, guinguette atmosphere and social impact meet. ✨
The adventure of the boat Thalassa begins with the TV show of the same name. Created in 1975, Thalassa is a French documentary series dedicated to the sea, its trades, its stakes, and broadcast for decades on France 3 under the impulse of Georges Pernoud, emblematic figure of the program.
To accompany filming and production, a houseboat-studio was first installed on the Seine in Paris, before Georges Pernoud pushed the idea of building a barge designed specifically for the show in the 1990s, with filming spaces, offices and recording studios.
Over the years, this atypical place has become a symbol of conviviality and curiosity, obviously linked to the maritime adventure told every week on television.
After the end of television use of the Thalassa boat in Paris, the association Wake up Café, engaged in accompaniment towards the professional reintegration of people leaving prison transforms this historic place into a restaurant engaged in Paris.
👉 Anchored at the high port of Javel, the Quai Liberté formerly boat Thalassa has been completely redesigned to become:
Each dish is the result of the work of a team of people leaving prison who find, through this job-training, a way towards stability and reintegration into society. By choosing the Freedom Pier, you take part in this reconstruction trip, where each plate reflects the commitment and work of those who work in the kitchen to get back on course. They serve you proudly to offer you a wonderful moment on board.
At Quai Liberté, the experience is complete: a neat menu, dishes made from local products, a friendly atmosphere and an exceptional setting on the Seine. 🌊 Whether it's for a lunch after a walk along the docks, a sunset dinner or an evening with friends, our restaurant welcomes you in a warm spirit.
What really distinguishes Freedom Pier is its role in a sustainable social reintegration project. The Freedom Pier is a project led by the association Wake up Café.
Created in 2014, Wake up Café supports people who are determined to take charge of their lives and become positive players in society. Wake up Café is present in 10 cities in France and proposes to the wakers a complete change of path, based on full-time journeys, individual accompaniment in-out-of-measure and a community of self-help, a pillar to combat recidivism and isolation.
When you come to taste our dishes, you become an actor in the reintegration! A veritable springboard, the Freedom Pier employs and trains people leaving prison. Here they integrate a specific training course to acquire the basics of the world of work.
