Seine River Cruise

location_on Paris, France schedule 1.5 hours

Overview

Cruise through the centre of Paris on the Seine and see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre-Dame from the water. Sit on the open upper deck or indoors while audio commentary explains each landmark.

Highlights

  • Riverside landmarks: The Louvre and the Conciergerie on one bank, the Musée d’Orsay on the other.
  • The islands: Notre-Dame on the Île de la Cité, then round past the quieter Île Saint-Louis.
  • Bridges overhead: Sail under the Pont Neuf and the gilded Pont Alexandre III.
  • Audio commentary: Multilingual commentary on the sights of both banks.

Good to know

  • Time on site: About 1½ hours, including boarding; the cruise itself lasts around an hour.
  • Activity level: Easy and seated; a few steps to board, and the open deck can be breezy.
  • Pairs well with: The Eiffel Tower, as the boats pass right beneath it, or the Paris by Night Tour.

Facts

History

  • The banks of the Seine in central Paris were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1991.
  • The Pont Neuf, begun in 1577 and inaugurated by Henri IV in 1607, is the oldest bridge in Paris.

Did you know?

  • The name bateau-mouche comes from Lyon, where boats built in the 1860s were linked to the Mouche district on the Saône.
  • Thirty of those boats were brought to Paris for the 1867 World Exposition.
  • The Pont Neuf carries 385 carved stone faces, no two alike.

Tour manager tips

  • Use the toilets before boarding.
  • The open deck gets cool and breezy, even in summer – bring a light layer.
