A Seine river boat tour takes in the central sights that are on the "wish list" of many visitors to Paris. They include Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Orsay museum with its Impressionist art collection and the Eiffel Tower. You will also pass under several of the city's bridges, including the Pont-Neuf.
Take a cruise at night when you can combine dinner surrounded by the city's illuminations. Another choice is to combine a cruise with a visit to the Moulin Rouge, a cabaret venue.
Tour operators use boats called bateaux-mouches on the River Seine. Some look like barges, others like yachts. The bateaux-mouches became popular in Paris after World War II.
