The River is beautiful and I would definately take the time out to do this while in Paris. Whatever you do don't book the Sat night dinner cruise which runs from the Marina just across the road from the Eiffel Tower and down the steps on your right hand side if your looking at the tower...called La Marina Des Paris.... more

River Seine is one of the best destinations in Paris. You can actually see all the corners of Paris during the "Bateau Mouche" cruise. The cruise usually lasts for one hour where the boat takes you under the 16 bridges that connect Paris. I remember listening to all Edith Piaff songs during the cruise; it brought good memories and made... more

When in Paris, we love to stroll the banks the Seine. Sitting and watching the water, relaxing and soaking up the sun is classic Paris. On our last trip, we brought a bottle of wine down to the Seine and sat in the little park under Pont Neuf. As we drank our wine in the afternoon sun we read a... more

When your feet need a break from walking but without missing out on sightseeing, hop onto a boat for a cruise down the Seine. This year I chose Vedettes de Paris which are just down the steps from the Eiffel Tower (right side when looking at the Tower from Trocadero). They do a running commentary in both english and french... more

Love the fact that you can stroll along the river any day and have picnics anytime, however I expected more from the boat cruise. For 10 Euros we took a boat cruise during the evening and although it was nice to see Paris at night I was disappointed that there was no tour guide to point out the various attractions.... more

Definitely a must do. We took the Bateaux Mouches, sat on the top, and had a wonderful time. It is certainly well worth the 10 Euros. Best buy in Paris. more

We took one of the cruise tours down the river and it was beautiful. really relaxing ride and very nice. A lot of major Paris attractions sit on the river so there are plenty of things to see. Sit on the outside of the boat for the best picture opportunities or on the end inside if you don't want to... more

We really enjoyed this. It was an hour long cruise. You get a large phone to listen to the commentry (in 8 different languages) of where the boat is taking you and tells you the history of all the monuments or places you pass by. We took it at night, and it was amazingly romantic. more

Used the Batobus (river taxi/bus) to get around the city in April 2003. You can buy a single trip ticket, one day or two day pass. The two day pass is by far the best value for money which means you can hop on and off as often as you like. It is a great way to see the Seine... more
