  • Did the Seine river cruise on the weekend at a reserved time so was easy to get onto the boat. Loads of seating upstairs and downstairs so great views.

  • Simply beautiful and majestic. February is a great time to see Paris on foot.
  • Paris river. Cruise sightseeing by boat is good.
  • Breathtaking! Did not get to do a boat tour but I did get to walk along the Seine a couple of times during my vacation and each time was so relaxing. My favourite fun fact about the Seine is the statue of a man called Zouave that serves the purpose of warning the city about possible floods. If he gets his feet wet, prepare for higher than normal water levels. He's located on Pont de l'Alma and if you don't know about this fact, the statue looks really out of place. It is not centered and there are not any signs that explain who he is or what the statue is doing there (or at least I did not find it). The reason it is not centered is actually because there used to be 4.
  • One of the pastimes of French people is to stroll along the rivers with their friends or go dating. During special occasions, there are performances along the river. The vicinity of La Seine is always full of surprises and so much discovery!
