Description
Boarding a Vedettes de Paris boat is one of the most wonderful ways to discover Paris: a one-hour cruise on the Seine, right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, offering breathtaking views of the capital’s iconic landmarks.
As you glide along the water, the city reveals itself from a magical perspective: the elegance of the Musée d’Orsay, the majesty of the Louvre, the silhouette of Notre Dame and the grace of Paris’s bridges.
The guides’ lively commentary or the audio guide available in several languages enriches the trip with fascinating anecdotes and stories. Daytime cruises are perfect for a first glimpse of the capital, whilst aperitif or gourmet cruises invite you to savour the charm of the river at sunset.
A smoother, quieter… and more sustainable experience
Vedettes de Paris has embarked on a major transformation: its boats are becoming 100% electric, offering a quiet, smooth and environmentally friendly journey.
This change does not alter the experience: on the contrary, it enhances it. On board, you can finally fully enjoy the lapping of the Seine, the scenery and the poetry of the monuments… without noise, without odours and without vibrations.
The Family Cruise: a special experience for young and old alike
Vedettes de Paris offers a package specially designed for families. This Family Cruise combines the beauty of a trip along the Seine with child-friendly commentary, a playful tone and anecdotes that capture their attention throughout the journey.
It’s the perfect activity to introduce the little ones to the history of Paris whilst sharing a special moment together. With silent boats and a smooth ride, the conditions are ideal for children even the most sensitive ones who can enjoy the trip without stress or noise.
A unique departure point and easy access
The boats depart right at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, with regular departures throughout the day. Access is easy by metro, RER or bus, perfect for a spontaneous outing during a stay in Paris.
