Location: Paris

Discover Paris from the water on a cruise along Canal Saint-Martin and the Seine River. This scenic route combines well-known landmarks, quiet canal sections, and the unique atmosphere of the underground vault.

Details

Starting near Ile aux Cygnes, with the Statue of Liberty directly in view, this cruise quickly brings you to the Eiffel Tower for a distinctive perspective from the water. From there, you’ll glide past the Grand Palais, Pont Alexandre III, ornate Musée d’Orsay, and the Louvre—each a highlight steeped in history. The route continues alongside Notre Dame for a memorable vantage point, then turns back to offer a different view of the river, its bridges, and the monuments on the opposite bank.

The evening departure is at 8:00 PM. Depending on the season, the tour may conclude before sunset, giving you ample time to enjoy dinner afterward.

The boat holds up to 10 people, but we intentionally limit each tour to 6 passengers for added comfort and space.

Complimentary rosé wine, Evian water, and macarons are served during the cruise. You’re also welcome to bring your own beverages or snacks.

Children are welcome, and lifejackets in all sizes are available on board.

Meeting point

The boat departs from "Escale Beaugrenelle", with easy access from the Pont de Beaugrenelle, a few minutes from the Eiffel Tower. If you come by Uber or Taxi, you can get off right in front of the stop. If the driver drops you on the bridge, you are just 30 seconds away. This stopover is sometimes used by other small boats, so the captain will only moor the boat when they see you.

Our favorite part of our Paris trip! This experience couldn’t have been better - our host was amazing, the wine & macarons were delicious, and the views were absolutely stunning - we had so much fun playing our French bossa nova music, waving to everyone on land, and taking the most beautiful pictures. Can’t recommend it enough. Thank you so much!!
