Climb aboard a pleasure boat for a 1-hour cruise down the River Seine, before or after your 3-course-lunch including a drink at the Bistro Parisien on the quay near the Eiffel Tower.

Take your seats in an entirely glassed-over boat, and enjoy panoramic views of the finest parts of Paris. Relax to the background music you learn the history of Paris, from its medieval origins on the Ile de la Cité, to the secrets of some of its mansions.

Glide past the golden dome of Les Invalides, see the elegant Musée d’Orsay, admire the palatial home of the Louvre Museum, pass the historic exhibition hall of the Grand Palais, and much more.

The chef uses seasonal products to prepare tasty and authentic cuisine for your enjoyment.

The lunch starts at 12:00 pm and you can make the sightseeing cruise before or after the lunch.

The Eiffel tower view made was the best part. The restaurant was nice. The food presentation was horrible and taste even worse. The steak was burnt. Highly disappointed and would not book again.

Overall a great experience. Food was enjoyable and the service was great !
2 bottles of wine and glass of champagne was included in price. The photographer was very friendly.

Downsides:
- air-conditioning on (too cold)
- no kids menu
- check-in a bit confusing

Food was great but everything else was awful. The cruise itself had no commentary except self guided audio which was not what we expected from the description. We were herded like cattle onto the ship. Service was rude. Extremely low value for money.

Lunch was excellent with a full and varied menu and excellent service. Allow a couple of hours to relax over a glass or two to enjoy this part of the package. It is really well organized despoite the numbers arriving at the same time.
The cruise can be taken whenever you choose. It was interesting with a full descriptions of the highlights that we passed in three languages and the alternative of listening on the company app. Unfortunately, the high water prevented us going all the way to the islands but there was nothing that the Company can do about that as the bridges are quite low.
It was a very enjoyable afternoon in the sun and we would recommend it.

We were delighted to have a good time with my husband who had never had this experience but the result did not live up to our expectations apart from the lunch where everything was perfect. But if we had wanted a good meal, a good restaurant would have done the trick because it was above all a cruise to discover the main beautiful monuments of Paris visible from the Seine and there it was not at all up to par. what is announced.
Leaving the Eiffel Tower at the foot of the pier (and there too, quite a disappointment: work...), we caught a glimpse of the grand palace but for the rest, barges, barges and more barges... boredom during 3/4 of the route completely diverted without us being warned, surely so that we avoid postponing our cruise (no respect for the customer!). Explanation to our request on site at the exit: "we should have warned you, a lot of rain therefore modified itinerary" except that the day before I contacted them to hear me say a bit annoyed that the floods were over and that there was no problem. Disastrous communication...
The cruise was transformed under the noses of disgruntled customers into a simple stroll on the water with a good meal, which does not explain the amount requested. Farewell Île de la Cité, Notre Dame...
In addition, no explanation of what we saw, a commentary or an audio guide would not have been too much because this organization also organizes "walking" cruises without lunch which are commented on. So for the Parisian boats we either have lunch or listen to the audio guide but we can also, I reassure them, enjoy a good meal and listen to an audio guide. For the tourists, especially those we had near us, one monument looked like another monument, without a guide they left feeling like they had missed an appointment with Paris during this cruise. Very very disappointed 😞

The cruise was very relaxing, and serene...I didn't get to see as many sights as I would have liked to, because I was on the inside of the boat. Due to the length of time it took to get my bill at the bistro, I was one of the last ones to get onto the boat. Making the prime sightseeing seats unavailable. Which brings me to, my lunch...the appetizer was great...the steak was overcooked, and I was left to try and cut it with a butter knife. The service was more than lacking I actually had to stand up and practically yell for my check. After the steak, which I was unable to finish, due to the toughness, I was turned off to the dessert. The waiter was just short of belligerent. He acted as though he was annoyed to have to be serving me, and I was sat in a corner withering under the intense heat. I was extremely uncomfortable. and considered abandoning the meal I prepaid for. At any rate, the idea of having the cruise after the meal is a great way to spend the afternoon. However, it would serve them well to consider their customers needs and desires, so that they will be able to have better business retention. As I am planning my spring break trip to paris with my husband, I honestly don't feel I'll be returning to this particular venue.
