You can buy passes, which are valid for as many trips as you like during a specific period of time, at each Batobus stop or in the airports or at the Tourist Office.
They cost
1-day Pass: €12 (€6 for children under 16)
2-day Pass: €14 (€7 for children under 16)
5-day Pass: €17 (€8 for children under 16)
There is a Batobus every 15 to 30 minutes, from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.in winter; from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m in spring and autumn; from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
They are no cruise and provide no comentary, but it is a pleasurable way to discover Paris, far from the traffic jams (and a bit of water is nice in summer). Leave a Comment

 MeSoBlonda on the River
Seine by mesoblonda
The open air boat tours (which last about an hour), cost about $7.00 euros. They provide you with a view of many local monuments. As you slowly traverse the Seine, you listen to a recording, describing the sights you are seeing.
Just get yourself to the Eiffel Tower and the Seine will be in full sight. You can hop on any of the tour boats (trust me, there are MANY!).
Am told this tour at night is wonderful. If you have the time, take advantage of the dinner tours available. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Sailing down the Seine by Callavetta
We have taken a ride on these boats on every one of our trips to Paris and it still hasn't gotten stale. The trip is different at every time of day and in every season. Catch the tour near sunset to see the roof of the Petit Palace glow. Take a night tour to see the floodlights flash on the Louvre and the beautiful buildings on the Isle de Paris. Once we went on a stormy day and actually got sea sick! Always the view of the Eiffel Tower lit up as you sail past is magnifique!
For information: Bateaux Mouches
Important tip: Don't go on one of the expensive dinner tours. The food is said to be not that good. Instead, bring along a bottle of wine or champagne and sit atop at sunset for a poor man's cruise. You won't be sorry!
Final note: There are other operators who have very similar tours. Bateaux Parisiens is one that I've taken and enjoyed. Leave a Comment

 Canal St. Martin by shrimp56
.
We took Pariscanal in 1992 -- from near Musée D'Orsay to Parc de la Villette was a very relaxing and interesting 3 hours. You pass through "real" Paris and watch as old locks are opened and shut by their keepers. Leave a Comment

I always like to make boattrips. It gives another perspective of the area and the city. In Paris are different possibilities for boattrips like with Bateaux Mouches from the Pont de L'Alma with trips every 20 or 30 minutes.
Another possibility is the Batobus between Tour Eiffel and Jardin de Plantes, where you can get on or off the boat at 8 different places. There are passes, wich are valid for as many trips as you like during one or more days. You can buy these passes at each Batobus stop or at the Tourist Office. They cost € 11 for one day and € 13 for two days. Leave a Comment

Boat trip on the seine was great.
You could see the beautiful buildings from a different perspective.
There are 34 bridges apparently, all different in their own way.
The information given was most helpful and enjoyable.
You can have a small 2 hour trip day or night or a dinner boat option which seems nice if you have the time. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/Boat

 Paris by Martinewezel
The tours of the Bateaux - Mouches offer a relaxing view on their scenic route along monuments such as the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Musée d'Orsay etc.
The tours take about one hour.
A night-time cruise (with or without dining) is even more stunning: the boats are equipped with huge footlights illuminating the riverside monuments with big halogen lights.
Nice for the tourists, but a lot less pleasant for the Parisians living along the route of these boats.
Thats why they call them "Les Bateaux -MOCHES" ;-) Maybe you can find out somewhere what this means... Leave a Comment
