Cruise on the Seine

The most beautiful way to see Paris differently.

🕰️ A bit of history !

Sailing on the Seine is like stepping back in time. For centuries, the river has been the beating heart of Paris. Once a trade and transport route, today the Seine is a veritable open-air theater, featuring the capital's most beautiful monuments.

The first tourist cruises date back to the early 20th century, but it was in the 1950s that the famous bateaux-mouches popularized the experience for visitors from all over the world. Today, several companies offer day and night cruises, some with dinner or aperitifs on board.

A trip on the Seine is another way to discover Paris: poetic, relaxing and unforgettable.
