A Seine River cruise is a must-do in Paris. Bateaux Parisiens offers one of the best experiences, with panoramic views and delicious dining options. Departing from the foot of the Eiffel Tower, these glass-topped boats provide a 360-degree view of the city's waterfront landmarks.
The standard sightseeing cruises depart every 30 to 60 minutes. For a special occasion, consider the dinner cruise. The seating plan is designed to give every table a view of the river, with the "Premier" service offering front-of-the-boat seating for an unobstructed experience. The menu features seasonal French cuisine prepared on board by professional chefs.
Audio guides are available in over 10 languages, providing historical context as you pass the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Musée d'Orsay. It’s particularly magical at night when the monuments are illuminated, reflecting off the gentle ripples of the Seine.
