The boats of the Seine

Bateaux-mouches, glass-roofed cruisers, dinner barges: Paris is enjoyed in many ways from the Seine. Each boat offers a different rhythm and a unique angle on the capital, between Haussmann façades, gardens, museums and lit-up monuments. 

Sightseeing cruises and bateaux-mouches

The classic cruise lasts around an hour, with audio commentary that revisits the history of the bridges and monuments along the route. The boats are equipped with large bay windows or panoramic decks, ideal for taking photos at every bend in the river.

By day, the experience showcases the architecture and the gardens of the banks. At dusk, monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Conciergerie or Notre-Dame light up and reveal another, more romantic Paris.

Lunch and dinner cruises

Several boats offer table service, with menus that range from traditional cuisine to gastronomic dining. The lunch cruise lasts longer than a sightseeing tour, around an hour and forty-five minutes to two hours, with a more contemplative pace.

The dinner cruise extends the experience to two and a half hours, with a more festive setting and live music aboard certain boats. A treat to share for two, with family or with friends, in front of the lit-up monuments of the City of Light. 

Choosing your boat well

Several elements guide the choice: time of day, length of cruise, type of boat, departure point. Many cruises depart at the foot of the Eiffel Tower or near the Musée d'Orsay.

Booking in advance is recommended, especially in high season. It guarantees the choice of date, time slot and, if needed, a window-side table.
