What to see and do on the River Seine?

It is absolutely impossible to get bored in Paris, the city is an endless exercise in culture, fun and beauty, not to mention the walk we inevitably take from one monument to another. Therefore, a boat ride on the Seine River becomes a unique and personalized way to experience Paris from a new perspective.

What to see and do on your Seine boat tour

• Probably the most famous monument in Paris, the Eiffel Tower, can be seen from the Seine. It is beautiful, especially in conjunction with the Champ-de-Mars and the Trocadéro Gardens. This panorama, when viewed from the boat, comes to life, whether through the fountains and flowers in the gardens or the lights from the tower. Regardless of where you choose to start your boat ride, we suggest watching the sunset with the Eiffel Tower on the horizon. And don't forget to wave to the other tourists!
• The Grand Palais and Petit Palais are historic buildings that now house major artwork and exhibitions throughout the year, but the buildings themselves are breathtakingly beautiful. They are certainly must-see stops for tourists who know the city on foot, why wouldn't they be for those who choose to get to know Paris in an original way?
• The Hôtel des Invalides also deserves to be remembered, as it is a picturesque sight in the city, always surrounded by a deep blue sky, regardless of the season.
• The Alexandre III Bridge needs no comment. With its meticulous details, gold-plated sculptures and typically Parisian lamp posts, this bridge holds within it extraordinary beauty (and energy!), especially in the sunset light!
• Enjoy the Seine River boat hire to soak up the unique energy of the city, observe the architecture beyond the monuments, the people, and the boats along the river. You will notice many barges (floating houses) that serve as restaurants, and yes, homes for many French people.
• More ahead, we arrive at the imposing Louvre Museum and the expansive Jardin des Tuileries, one of the most beautiful in the city, composed with jaw-dropping flora, more fountains and statues than can be counted, the garden's seasonal amusement park, the Louvre pyramids and much more! It's worth docking your boat here to get to know the area better if you have time!
• The Musée d'Orsay, just across the river, also carries extraordinary beauty in itself, albeit more modern than other Paris monuments. A former train station turned modern art museum, this curious-looking building also deserves its own highlight.
• The Pont des Arts is one of the most picturesque and romantic in all of Paris, famous for being a place where lovers professed their eternal love, it is also worth the stop, if only to enjoy the view.
• Suggested is a quick stop under the Pont Neuf, either at the Square du Vert Galant or the Vedettes du Pont Neuf, for a picnic with your friends or family. Before your boat ride begins, stop by your favorite boulangerie and buy everything you want for a picnic with croissants and wine, and an incredible view of the Seine and the Louvre. A more personalized itinerary than this is impossible to find!
• The beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral cannot be forgotten. Although it is currently under restoration, you can still see the details of its Gothic architecture, as well as admire the picturesque panorama in which it sits, at the corner of an island in the middle of the Seine River.

Apart from the most well-known sights along the Seine, it is still possible to schedule tours with completely customized itineraries around outside Paris, such as Draveil or Boulogne-Billancourt (give our office a wave from the boat! ), just choose the places you would like to see, touristy or not, choose what you want to do on board, a picnic, maybe even wakeboarding (yes, on the Seine river), choose the stops you want, absolutely everything can be arranged with the boat owner to make your boat tour of the City of Light absolutely yours!
