Cruise on the Saint-Martin Canal and Seine River

Explore the French capital on a sightseeing cruise along the River Seine and continue along Canal Saint-Martin.

Along the way, see Parisian landmarks such as Notre Dame and the Hotel du Nord before entering the underground vault.

Your cruise begins in the center of Parc de la Villette, where the boat moves gently along the canal to Rue de Crimée and across the Bassin de la Villette, before passing the Rotonde by Ledoux.

At the Récollets Center, you will catch sight of the Hotel du Nord and continue through Canal Saint-Martin, with its pedestrian bridges, chestnut trees, and relaxed waterside paths.

The route then enters a long underground tunnel, where the boat travels through the vaulted passage with light holes overhead.

When you emerge at Arsenal Port, you will see the July Column near Place de la Bastille before joining the River Seine.

From there, the cruise continues past Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité, ending just after midday at the Musée d’Orsay.
