Bateaux Mouches

A Boat Trip on the Seine

Bateaux Mouche on the Seine

A boat trip along the River Seine is an ideal way to view the City’s sights in a leisurely manner and even having a quick lunch while you do. It certainly is a good way to see the rest of Nôtre-Dame’s exterior at the moment!

Other sights you will see from the Boat are: Le Tour Eiffel, La Musée d’Orsay, La Conciergerie, Le Louvre and Pont Alexandre III.

The Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches has been operating since 1949. It began with a single steam boat, but today has a modern fleet of 15 boats that carry nearly 2.5 million people, locals and tourists, every year.

Tickets for the regular services (see website) can be ordered on-line and will be sent to your e-mail address.

There are of course several other companies offering a variety of boat trips on the Seine and a quick search of the Internet will show these.
