Seine River Cruise/Dinner

  • July 30, 2001
  • Rated 4 of 5 by PaulH from London, United Kingdom
There are loads of companies offering "Bateaux-mouches" tours on the Seine. I'm a particular fan of having dinner on one of the boats. Of all the companies, I recommend "Bateaux Parisiens" for lunch/dinner cruises and "Canauxrama" for its more adventurous trips outside the city.

Going at night is as impressive as during the daytime, as both banks of the Seine are brilliantly lit. Notre Dame, l'Hotel de Ville and the Eiffel Tower (amongst others) are famous sights all in close proximity to the river and it's a great way to orientate yourself if you're new to Paris

Seine River Cruise

Seine River Cruise

The Seine River flows through the city of Paris and particularly unique, are the many points along the way, near both bridges and metro stations, where one can board sightseeing vessels to get some of the best views of the world's most romantic city. We walked along the river until we got to the Pont du Neuf and boarded one of the sightseeing boats that offered a one hour cruise up and down the Seine. I think it was 14 Francs per adult. The view of the city of Paris from the Seine is completely different from the perspective of the city on land, especially the view of Notre Dame as it looms up from its place of prominence on the Island, the spiky fingers of its flying buttresses starkly silhouetted against the sky. The boat tour took us upriver past the Louvre and under the Alexander bridge to the Eiffel Tower and then turned around to voyage all the way to the Cathedral before turning around and heading back to its berth. We saw many barges along the way that were docked along the banks of the river and adorned with potted plants and flowers over the edge of their decks. This was something we've never seen before. French pride was showing in style.
