5.00On a chiller, rainy (on and off again) day, we thought it would be a lovely way to see the sites and have lunch. The work staff and boat itself was excellent. We enjoyed the food options and wine pairing. Truly a bonus way to see this part of beautiful Paris.

Perfect Lunch Trip with Great Views of Paris

5.00This trip was our highlight while visiting Paris. The boat was clean. The staff was attentive, friendly, and informative. The lunch was delicious. The wine was excellent and plentiful! As an experienced tour boat captain, this is nothing like the cattle calls on the big sightseeing boats. We paid a little more to get a window seat and it was amazing. It also happened to be a very hot day in the 90's and the boat was comfortably air conditioned. Definitely treat yourself to this!
A beautiful moment as a couple.
