Look across to Trocadéro, home to Paris’ most famous viewing terrace, where fountains and open space frame the Eiffel Tower perfectly.
make your way to Port de la Bourdonnais, Platform No. 3, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. Look for the “Bateaux Parisiens” logo to find the correct boarding area. Follow the Seine as it winds through Paris, linking the city’s most important landmarks along its UNESCO-listed riverbanks.
Catch the golden dome of Les Invalides shining across the skyline, a landmark that stands out long before you reach it.
See the Arc de Triomphe at the center of Paris’ grand avenues, where the city’s symmetry reveals itself from above.
Notice the Grand Palais along the Seine, its glass roof reflecting light and standing out among the surrounding architecture.
Spot Sacré-Cœur atop Montmartre while you relax on cruise, the highest natural point in Paris, its bright domes standing out across the skyline.
See the Musée d’Orsay along the river, where a former railway station now holds one of Paris’ most celebrated collections.
Catch sight of Notre-Dame rising from the heart of Paris, its Gothic silhouette revealing itself as you draw closer.
Glide past the Louvre, where centuries of art and history stretch along the Seine in one of the world’s most iconic settings.
