Jean Bruel created “Bateaux-Mouches®” in 1949, introducing a novel activity to the Seine and marking the advent of river tourism in Paris.
More than 70 years later, the tradition continues : take a cruise on the Seine and admire the sights of Paris while enjoying a fine dinner !
Glide along the river and see the Ville Lumière from a different angle. Take a seat and relax as the city's iconic landmarks flash before your eyes. The large windows give you the best view while a three-course meal is served.
An evening cruise of almost three hours gives you the chance to see Paris from its most beautiful avenue. The illuminated monuments provide a breathtaking backdrop, while a three-course dinner is served, accompanied by an aperitif and a wine of your choice. Choose the Excellence menu and make the most of this fabulous city at night.
All cruises also feature live music to accompany your Paris dining experience.

Great sightseeing boat with romantic ambient

4.00This was an excellent tour with all the views from the sienna river. The food selection was not the best (we booked the standard option) maybe a little of love to the dishes will help a lot! The atmosphere was superb, the love music included a pianist and a violinist with a great selection of songs all the duration of the tour… the boat is in good shape as well… the experience overall was great. (The food could be better, but is an opinion, maybe others like it…)
Not worth it

2.00Positives the boat was nice and the trip down the river was nice. I however wouldn’t recommend it, all the food was cold, the boat where we was sat was freezing my wife and guests round us all had jackets on, my wife’s dessert was basically thrown at her rushing with a sparklers in. The time between starters and mains was that long the rest was very rushed. There was a photographer who came round took three pictures which were then €15 euros each except the table next to us who was given them as a gift from the photographer.
This was the 3rd time I...

4.00This was the 3rd time I took the dinner cruise and each time I found the end to be a little rushed when it came to dessert and coffee/tea. This time, we were never served our coffee and tea by the time we docked. Hat happened before too. Other than that, had a very enjoyable evening.
Nice experience

5.00Beautiful experience with privileged view of the majesty of the illuminated eiffel tower, excellent dinner, pleasant attention
Disappointed by the service that would merit a flexible kitchen workout to serve a hot meal

3.00Beautiful romantic cruise but a definite downside for the meal that was only at the level of the proposed service. Original potting but served cold and cold again (normally hot ) despite a claim. Fish also served fresh. Even on hot plates it remains unpleasant. For the rest champagne and dessert very good.
Amazing family time on the river cruise

5.00Our family thoroughly enjoyed the dinner cruise. The staff was attentive and hospitable with great dinner menu options available. Our group aging from 15 to 75 had a great time. Would highly recommend the river cruise as it's a great way to see Paris with the lights at night.
Best time ever

3.00Glasses from the boat made it impossible to enjoy the view, which was the main goal of the experience.
Good experience

4.00Overall good experience. Food is traditional French cuisine with limited vegetarian options. The meat was very good. Wine was a tad too strong for us but you have an option of champagne. Even after specifying that wife is vegetarian at the time of booking they seem to be unaware. That part was disappointing. Also the main usher was respectful but not very warm. Waiter was very good and made our evening!
A Magical experience
