Description

Relive the magic of the Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony on the very river where it all happened. Departing from historic Pont Neuf, this 1-hour 15-minute evening cruise takes you along the Seine River in a relaxed atmosphere, with background music on board as you admire Paris by night.

Meet your boat at Square du Vert-Galant, the small park tucked just below Pont Neuf. Step aboard a comfortable vessel with an open-air terrace and indoor seating, and set off along the UNESCO-listed riverbanks as the city lights slowly begin to shine.

Soon, the historic islands come into view. Glide around Île de la Cité, the cradle of Paris, and admire the Conciergerie and the Palais de Justice from the water. Enjoy an unobstructed view of Notre-Dame Cathedral, whose towers and flying buttresses are especially impressive from the river. Continue past the elegant Île Saint-Louis, with its 17th-century mansions and quiet quays.

As the cruise continues downstream, you’ll see the long façade of the Louvre Museum, the domed Institut de France and the famous Pont des Arts, followed by the Musée d’Orsay on the Left Bank and the Tuileries and Place de la Concorde on the Right Bank.

Further along, pass under the ornate Alexandre III Bridge, with views of the Grand Palais and the golden dome of Les Invalides, before reaching the highlight of the cruise: the Eiffel Tower. From the Seine, you’ll enjoy a wide, picture-perfect view of the tower and the Trocadéro, especially magical when the tower is illuminated at night.

With a limited number of passengers on board, a central departure point and a relaxing musical atmosphere, this cruise is an easy and comfortable way to discover Paris’s most beautiful monuments in just 1 hour 15 minutes — ideal at the start of your stay or as a relaxed evening activity.
