Go in the evening hours to see the city before and after sunset. As a bonus, on the return trip, you can see the Eiffel tower lighting up.

It was fun to see what attracted the Parisi tribe to the area so long ago. The book sellers along the bank we also the best place to buy souvenirs and artwork.

Boats are near the Eiffel Tower . The trip takes around 1 hour and costs around 13 euros . You see most of the monuments while cruising down the Seine river .

I would advise you to not take the cruises because they are very boisterious and not romantic as one might imagine. It would be better to walk along the river at night particulrly if you are facing the Eiffel Tower and see when it sparkles.

We booked a lunch cruise on the River Seine, Paris, with Bateaux-Parisiens on the net prior to going to Paris. The website was very informative and gave all the different Cruise and Meal options available, (which was very useful as my wife has a food allergy and she could see what was being served in advance) and sent you confirmation...

Great walk down the river as you tour Paris. I used it as a reference point to get where is was going. Lots of people selling paintings and souvenirs at nice prices. My advice! You did not drop a ring. I was approached 5 times by scammers trying to con me. Either ignore them or just tell them to get... More

A very romantic setting. If you are a couple visiting the city, then I would highly recommend a boat cruise with your significant other. You have various options to choose from... A sightseeing cruise or a dinner cruise or a wine tasting cruise... If you have Paris Pass, then it offers a complimentary cruise along the river which passes below... More
