About this tour
A two-hour dinner cruise along the Seine where you'll float past Paris's most recognisable monuments whilst enjoying a three-course French meal. Board a restaurant boat at either 6:45pm or 9:15pm, settle into an intimate dining room, and watch the city's bridges and landmarks slip by as you work through refined dishes paired with champagne, wine, and water. The kitchen turns out classical French cooking—think foie gras and guinea fowl—in a setting that feels suspended between the water and the glittering skyline.

What to expect
You'll arrive at the dock and board a river boat fitted out as a restaurant. Staff seat you in the dining room, where large windows frame the passing riverscape. As the boat departs, you receive a champagne aperitif and menu. The first course—perhaps semi-cooked foie gras with seasonal chutney—arrives whilst you're still taking in the view. Main courses (guinea fowl with truffle jus is typical) come as the boat navigates bends in the river, and dessert follows. Wine flows steadily. By the time coffee arrives, you've drifted past most of central Paris's major sights. The whole experience is unhurried and quiet, more dinner with a view than spectacle.
