Jean Bruel created “Bateaux-Mouches®” in 1949, introducing a novel activity to the Seine and marking the advent of river tourism in Paris.
More than 70 years later, the tradition continues : take a cruise on the Seine and admire the sights of Paris while enjoying a fine dinner !
Glide along the river and see the Ville Lumière from a different angle. Take a seat and relax as the city's iconic landmarks flash before your eyes. The large windows give you the best view while a three-course meal is served.
An evening cruise of almost three hours gives you the chance to see Paris from its most beautiful avenue. The illuminated monuments provide a breathtaking backdrop, while a three-course dinner is served, accompanied by an aperitif and a wine of your choice. Choose the Excellence menu and make the most of this fabulous city at night.
All cruises also feature live music to accompany your Paris dining experience.

2.00Was not impressed. Food was cold and staff was not helpful. The prearranged taxi you provided was 15 min late. Many workers walking around not doing anything.
Love it

4.00The cruise down the river was beautiful and the ability to go up to the top of the boat for outside views was fantastic. The musicians were superb and played great music at the perfect volume. The food was excellent - except for the main courses. My partner’s veal was tough and overcooked. My ravioli tasted like it was reheated in a microwave with tough shrimp, hard pasta, and a bland sauce. The amuse bouche, appetizer, and deserts were all excellent. We did this tour at night and I would do this tour again day or night.

3.00The views are absolutely incredible. The boat was very nice. That's where it ends for me.... Our waiter was not nice - the menu was in French, with "English" below, however everything was still "French". It was really small print and looked like it was all in French. When we asked about it, he was a jerk. Next - the food. Ok - we spend almost $400 for an evening on the river with dinner - the night on the river was wonderful, but the food was aweful. After spending several days in Paris eating at lots of local estabishments, we had pretty high expectations - I'll give you that, but it really was bad. Thankfully the bottle of bubbly made it a little more palitable... but only a little.
The best one in Paris

5.00Absolutely perfect. Recommend 10 out of 10. If you want to do a seine cruise this is the one to do. Food was amazing, music perfect, and the view from all tables is spectacular.

4.00The boat trip was wonderful. It was raining so we all had to stand in the rain in a very slow line to get on the boat. And poor food service. But fun way to see the city.
