About this tour
Cruise the Seine on your own private boat for 90 minutes, gliding past Paris's architectural landmarks without the crowds. You'll depart from Île aux Cygnes near the Statue of Liberty, sweep past the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame, take in views of the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay, cross beneath iconic bridges like Pont Alexandre III and Pont des Arts, then loop back along the riverbanks. The boat's quiet engine means you hear only water and birdsong. Bring your own picnic if you fancy it; WiFi and a loo are onboard.

What to expect
You'll board at Escale de Beaugrenelle in front of the miniature Statue of Liberty on Île aux Cygnes. Once underway, the boat glides upriver towards the Eiffel Tower, then continues east past the cathedral of Notre-Dame. You'll drift beneath a succession of historic bridges—each offers a different vantage point. The Louvre and Musée d'Orsay slip past on the banks. After Île Saint-Louis, you'll turn and retrace your route back to the Eiffel Tower, completing a circuit of the river's most recognisable stretches. The pace is leisurely; bring binoculars or simply sit and soak it in.
