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.

1.00Unbelievable poor experience!! I would pick zero stars if I could! We were a table of 10, and our waiter Joe made sure nothing we ordered was secured or given to our table, 1/2 the table’s appetizer was not available for what was ordered and the rest of the meal followed this same issue. On the “Excellent” menu (additional fees), “the kitchen ran out” was the saying of the evening!!! This included appetizers, Meals and desserts! The manager Rachid tried to help but he could do little to make food appear! Extra water for us sweating in the heat was given to the table, as we were sitting with little to no air conditioning, was the best we got! Our waiter Joe, did not bring to the table drinks or food in any timely manner. Five appetizers had to be changed 6 desserts were also changed and one person in our group never got his dessert! We were back at the dock and supposed to be off the boat at 10:45 and we hadn’t gotten all our desserts delivered!! We celebrated a birthday for my 13 year old grand daughter, everyone one the boat had their “special” dessert brought out at the same time but again we didn’t receive her celebration dessert until 5 -10 minutes later after everyone else. The overall experience with the dining was so poor! Anything we asked for at the table, like our food, water, wine wasn’t delivered for at least 30 minutes after we asked for it! The red wine was full of sediments, showing just how poor the quality of the drink was we were receiving. If you want to pay over 1400 euros for lousy food, extremely poor service, and sweat your whole dinner, while being ignored, book this tour but looking at the number of boats available in the river, just pick a different company enjoy your once in a life time experience some place that values you as a customer !! You’ll do yourself a favor! No money was worth this experience!
We enjoyed everything...

5.00Our Seine River dinner cruise was an unforgettable highlight of our trip to Paris. The views of the city’s landmarks beautifully lit at night were absolutely breathtaking. The atmosphere on board was elegant yet relaxed, perfect for a family evening. The food was delicious, the service was attentive and welcoming, and the pace of the cruise allowed us to truly soak in the magic of Paris from the water. A wonderful way to experience the city together and highly recommended for families!
