Boat tours along the Seine

See the city by boat

These slow-cruising boats, filled with hundreds of sight-seers, are one of the most typical sights along the banks of the Seine, at any time of the day or night. Although there are dozens of choices for booking one of these tours, Las Vedettes del Pont-Neuf is a good option with boats departing every 45 minutes from Point Neuf. These tours last for just under an hour and cost 13 euros. Did you know there is also a Statue of Liberty in Paris? You’ll discover this and much more about the history of the city’s most famous monuments which you’ll see from the boat, such as the Louvre, the Musée d’Orsay, the Place de la Concorde, the Pont de Alexandre III, the Eiffel Tower and the Hôtel de Ville. Meanwhile, the virtual tours on www.vedettesdupontneuf.com will turn you green with envy.
