Bateaux paris - Paris Bistro Lunch/Dinner Cruise

 

See Paris in a new light as you cruise down the River Seine in a boat encased entirely in glass, affording a panoramic view of the beautiful city sights. A dinner in the café-restaurant Bistro Parisien awaits you back at the dock. Boarding at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, you will be welcomed aboard one of the three trimarans belonging to the Bateaux Parisiens, for a one-hour cruise. Entirely glass fitted, with a terrace behind and gangways all round, the boat affords an excellent vantage point from which to view Paris’s many sights. Observe the magnificent bridges of Paris as you drift underneath them. See the Pont Neuf, incongruously named the New Bridge but which is now the oldest bridge in Paris. Reach the centre point of Paris as you pass Cité Island, which, along with Saint-Louis Island, is a naturally formed island situated in the river, and on which the impressive Notre-Dame Cathedral sits. Go westwards passing in front of the Louvre Museum to reach the Eiffel Tower where you will dine at the delightful quayside café Bistro Parisien.
