Bateaux Mouches

The Seine River flows through Paris and is the life blood of the city. It has allowed Paris to be invaded and ransacked over its many years of existence. The River Seine has allowed trade to flow in and out, being a major inland port.

Stunning River Edge View
The magnificent buildings and cathedrals that stud the banks of the river are a sight that is simply beautiful. And one of the most wonderful ways to see some of them is from the river itself.

The Bateaux Mouches are guide boats that will take you up and down the river, into all its inlets and curves and let you discover Paris in a way that you will never forget.

Sight See in Comfort
The longboats provide a one-of-a-kind pleasure trip under glass covered decks. Leisurely gliding down the river you get a fantastic glimpse of Paris at its best. You will pass by the Notre Dame Cathedral, soaring high on the banks of the river. The view of the buildings from the distance allows for a more overall picture of the entire city, a picture which is delightful to look at.

The boats are set up to give you a thorough tour with running commentary on the sights that you pass. They have all the modern conveniences and you can enjoy your tour in comfort and protection from the weather. A river tour is the only way to enjoy the many magnificent bridges that span the river. At night the boats are lit with flood lights making for an unforgettable trip.
