About this tour
Spend two hours floating down the Seine from Arsenal Port, watching Paris unfold from the water. You'll pass the Eiffel Tower twice—once during its evening sparkle—while sipping champagne and nibbling charcuterie or macarons. No commentary or guides; just you, the river, and the city's bridges and buildings sliding by. A straightforward way to see the major sights without fighting crowds on foot.
Highlights
- Two passes of the Eiffel Tower, one during evening illumination
- 360-degree views of Seine-side monuments and bridges
- Choice of French charcuterie platter or macaron trio
- Champagne included with your selection
- Departs from Bastille-area port, central and accessible
- Two full hours on the water, no rush
What to expect
You'll board near Bastille and settle in as the boat heads upriver. The pace is leisurely—no narration, just the city sliding past. Expect to see Notre-Dame, the Louvre's riverside facade, Pont des Arts, and various smaller bridges. The commentary-free approach means you can chat with travel companions or simply watch. Your food and drink arrive shortly after departure. The second Eiffel Tower pass happens as dusk falls, when the tower's lights kick in. The whole circuit takes the full two hours; there's time to settle and absorb rather than tick boxes.
Good to know
Only over-18s can drink alcohol. Prams and pushchairs are welcome if you're travelling with small children. The boat operates year-round; winter crossings are quieter but colder. Book your food choice (charcuterie or macarons) when you reserve.
