Overview

This 2.5-hour boat tour includes a cruise along the River Seine and the Canal Saint Martin in Paris. The tour departs from a point near the Cité des Sciences and travels through various Parisian neighborhoods, passing under bridges, through tunnels, and locks along the way. On the Seine, the boat passes landmarks such as the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and Île Saint-Louis. The Canal Saint Martin section shows a less touristy side of Paris, including footbridges, a liftbridge, and views of the Bassin de la Villette with the Rotonde de la Villette and Crimée liftbridge nearby. The cruise offers live commentary on board, providing information about the sights as the boat moves. You may choose a morning or afternoon departure to fit your schedule. For the Christmas holidays, the operator provides breakfast on morning departures and a snack on afternoon departures, with makeup activities for children in the afternoon. These holiday inclusions are a limited-time offer.
