Seine: Riverboat cruise on the Seine
Durfun profile photo
Durfun 562 reviews

Can see the beautiful historic buildings, that somehow preserve a rich past, and the river being quite compact allows you to see these from a good distance.

A very romantic feeling would be added to your evening walk around the Pompeidou Centre and The Tower.

A simply 'must-do'.

Bateaux Parisiens: Night time serenades

4.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

I didnt know where to put this tip,tourist trap,restaurant or off beaten path !!!
This was recommended to us as a "must do" when in Paris,dinner and a cruise on the Seine at night,so we did !!!
Again,I'd book the day before,although they do make this trip every day.
The waiters were very good,great musicand the food was wonderful,dishes ranging from King Prawns in puff pastry to fillet steak to salmon to duck pate.
Included in the price (120 euros each)was 2 bottles of wine,unfortunately I'm a bit of a phillistine as far as French wines concerned,but I figure if only costs 5 euros and you like it,then thats fine....
One thing I found annoying,was, as you're taking pictures of all the wonderful landmarks of this beautiful city,you coudn't escape the reflection of the lights inside the boat from appearing on your photos.
There a lady who goes round taknig a picture of you,frames it and tries to sell it to you 30 minutes later for 20Euros,we just asked the Brazilian couple next door to take a few for us.
Much more sociable and fun.

Dress Code: No sportswear or denims, there is a cloakroom there for leaving your coats etc in the winter.

Seine River...: Seine Flows Through Paris !

River Seine in Paris !

This was my last photo of Paris on that first night !
From Tour Eiffel, me & Alain walked to the Seine River where we could see (night) boat trips on the river.
Quite a scenic/romantic view really. Not to me & Alain anyway. Just scenic to my eyes.
Nevertheless, we continued along the river & saw more nice views.
Too bad that I couldn't take any more photos as my digital batteries were running low. My lame excuse...

Seine

Best way to spend an evening and maybe even a night in Paris is to walk by the Seine with your loved one. Very romantic, beautiful scenery...

Dress Code: You could dress as you like. You don't have to please anyone but yourself... ;-)

For a romantic evening.... I recommend taking a dinner cruise on the Bateau Parisiens..
Nouvelle cuisine type of food, with flowing wine, sipping in the charm of Paris by night, accompanied by the sound of a violin playing romantic music...

Dress Code: Jacket & tie type of thing..

It really isn't a spot, so much as an activity. One evening the group I was with took an evening dinner cruise on the Seine River. While I will admit the food wasn't really much to write home about, the view (at least for me) was worth it. It was an opportunity to see another side of the city. They don't call Paris 'The City of Lights' for nothing.

we were too young to enjoy the nightlife while I was there. But i have some friends who are there at the moment and they tell me it's a great spot.

Oh going down the Seine on the Baton Mouche at night is something you CANNOT miss if you're in Paris.
The city lighting is amazing.
