Bateaux Parisiens Sightseeing & Dinner Cruises
This is a guest post from Mary Jo Manzanares, Travel & Culture Channel Editor and blogger at Flyaway Cafe
Bateaux Parisiens is a cruise company that conducts sightseeing, lunch, and dinner cruises on the Seine, along with operating a river-boat shuttle called Batobus.
I opted for an evening sightseeing cruise, and for an hour we cruised the Seine while the hostess pointed out a number of attractions. The commentary was pleasant and informative, and not filled with the typical puns and drivel that you so often get on tours.
Schedules vary, but details and information can easily be found in the city. At the time I was there the sightseeing cruise operated every half hour until 10 pm, and cost €11. It was easy to walk up and get a seat. Reservations required, however, for lunch and dinner cruises.
