Getting around Paris by Boat

4.00Very convenient way to get around Paris. The only downside is that it is slow, only goes one way, and may get crowded depending on when you take it during the day. If you’re looking to have a leisurely boat trip to see things from afar, it’s a good experience.
Return not insured
