Tour of Paris + cruise on the Seine

It’s hard to imagine ever coming to an end of Paris’s marvels, but this enjoyable three-hour excursion, which takes in a large number of the capital’s unmissable sites, certainly offers a good start. Perfect for a first-time visit to Paris, the trip begins with a panoramic air-conditioned bus tour that leaves from the ParisCityVision agency, beside the Louvre. Comfortably seated, you will then set off to discover Paris’s most famous monuments, squares, bridges and streets, with a personal audio-guide (available in 11 languages) that will soon make you a specialist of Parisian history!

Make for the Seine

Next, you will climb aboard a trimaran from the Bateaux Parisiens fleet, which sets off from beside the Eiffel Tower on a guided cruise down the Seine. The boat, which has a fully-windowed upper deck as well as an open terrace, offers an exceptional view of the architectural riches at the heart of Paris. Watch the prestigious monuments lining the Seine flow past one by one, from the Musée d’Orsay to Notre Dame Cathedral. Accompanied by live commentary and enriched by music that evokes the places and eras you pass, the cruise also leaves time to simply enjoy the moment as you glide through the City of Lights.
