Overview

Experience the charm of Paris by night from the Seine, following the same iconic waterway that hosted the unforgettable Paris 2024 Olympic Opening Ceremony. Departing from the historic Pont Neuf, this evening cruise offers a peaceful way to see the city’s most famous landmarks, with soft music and a glass of Champagne included.

Your journey begins at Square du Vert-Galant, a quiet riverside spot located just beneath Pont Neuf. Step aboard and make yourself comfortable, choosing between the indoor area or the open-air terrace. As the boat glides along the UNESCO-listed banks of the Seine.

Along the route, admire the capital’s most emblematic sights, including the Louvre, the Pont des Arts, the Musée d’Orsay, the Tuileries Garden and Place de la Concorde. Cruise under the Alexandre III Bridge and enjoy views of the Grand Palais and Les Invalides before approaching one of the evening’s most memorable moments: the Eiffel Tower shining over the river.

What to expect

Pont Neuf
Pass by

Start your evening at Vert-Galant Square, the tiny park at the tip of the Île de la Cité, just under Pont Neuf. From the statue of Henri IV in the middle of the bridge, walk down the stairs to the riverbank where your boat is waiting.
Ile de la Cite
Pass by

As you leave Pont Neuf, you circle Île de la Cité, where Paris was born. From the water you can see the medieval towers of the Conciergerie, the Courthouse and the elegant riverfront façades – like sailing around an open-air history book.
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris
Pass by

Gliding along the south bank of the island, you’ll enjoy a clear, unobstructed view of Notre-Dame Cathedral. Even under restoration, its flying buttresses and towers are one of the most powerful symbols of Paris, and the river is the perfect place for photos away from the crowds.
Ile Saint-Louis
Pass by

The cruise continues past Île Saint-Louis, lined with 17th-century mansions and calm quays. This is one of the most romantic corners of Paris: warm apartment windows, tiny balconies and reflections of the façades in the Seine.
4th Arr. - Hotel-de-Ville
Pass by

Sailing back towards the Right Bank, you pass the ornate Hôtel de Ville (City Hall) and the lively riverside promenades. Here you really feel local life along the Seine, with people strolling, chatting and enjoying the evening by the water.
Louvre Museum
Pass by

Further west, the immense façade of the Louvre stretches along the river, facing the domed French Institute on the Left Bank. Between them, the Pont des Arts footbridge offers one of the best viewpoints in Paris – from the boat you can see all three in a single glance.
Musee d'Orsay
Pass by

On one side of the boat you’ll see the former railway station that is now the Orsay Museum; on the other, the gardens of the Tuileries and the obelisk of Place de la Concorde in the distance. This stretch feels like cruising through a postcard, especially at sunset when the sky turns pink behind the monuments.
Pont Alexandre III
Pass by

You then pass under Pont Alexandre III, one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris with its golden statues and Art Nouveau lamps. Nearby you’ll see the glass roof of the Grand Palais and, on the Left Bank, the golden dome of Les Invalides, where Napoleon is buried.
Eiffel Tower
Pass by

As the boat heads further west, the Eiffel Tower comes into full view, rising above the Trocadéro and the Champ de Mars. This is the moment everyone waits for, with Champagne glasses raised and cameras ready.
Pont Neuf
Pass by

The cruise ends back at du Vert-Galant Square , just a short walk from the lively cafés and restaurants of the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain, perfect to continue your evening.
