See Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower and the bridges of Paris from the water. A relaxing way to see the city with family.
Address: Port de la Bourdonnais, 75007 Paris (main departure points by the Eiffel Tower and Pont Neuf)
The Seine has always been the main street of Paris. Boats carried wine, wood and stone into the city for centuries, and the river banks between the Eiffel Tower and Île Saint-Louis are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The famous Bateaux-Mouches were launched in 1949 to show visitors the city from the river. Today a classic one-hour cruise passes 30-odd bridges, the Louvre, Notre-Dame, the Musée d'Orsay and the Eiffel Tower.
May to September for warm evenings on the open deck.
Book a sunset cruise to see the monuments in golden light, then lit up after dark.
Cruises run all year. In winter the glass-roofed boats stay warm and the city lights come on early.
Well-known hotels within easy reach. Check prices and availability for your dates.
A standard sightseeing cruise lasts about 1 hour. Dinner cruises last 2 to 2.5 hours.
Bateaux Parisiens, Bateaux-Mouches and Vedettes de Paris all run similar routes. Choose the departure point nearest to you.
Not for standard cruises outside peak times, but sunset and dinner cruises are best booked ahead.
