What to expect

1

Passerelle de l'Avre

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Located at the foot of the port of the Hélice Club de France, the Avre footbridge was built by the Eiffel workshops. This aqueduct still supplies nearly 20% of the drinking water of Parisians today.

2

Domaine national de Saint-Cloud

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. The Domaine National de Saint Cloud is a historic place that was the home of many kings and queens of France (from Catherine de Medici to Henri III, Philippe d'Orléans, Marie Antoinette and Napoleon III). Although the castle was burned in 1870, the gardens designed by Le Nôtre and its Grand Cascade are still visible today.

3

La Seine Musicale

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Located on the downstream tip of Seguin Island, the Seine Musicale is a complex dedicated to music built on the ruins of the old Renault factories.

4
Statue de la Liberte

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Designed in the workshops of Auguste Bartholdi at the same time as the original, the Statue of Liberty was offered by the American Committee of Paris to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution. Located on the Île aux Cygnes, it faces New York and its illustrious elder.

5
Eiffel Tower

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Like a lighthouse, the Eiffel Tower is today the most famous emblem of Paris. This work by Gustave Eiffel was designed as an ephemeral monument for the Universal Exhibition of 1889. With a height of 312 meters at its construction, it will remain the tallest monument in the world for more than forty years.

6
Pont de Bir-Hakeim

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. It is one of the most photographed bridges in Paris thanks to its breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower and its metallic architecture.

7

Pont de l'Alma

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Inaugurated by Napoleon III in 1856, it was built in homage to the Crimean War. Serving as a marker to measure the floods of the Seine, the famous Zouave of the Pont de l'Alma was originally not alone, but accompanied by a grenadier, a foot hunter and an artilleryman, to honor the soldiers who had fought. The flame of liberty, located on the right bank, Place Diana, was offered to France by the United States in 1987. This flame is an exact replica of the one carried by the real Statue of Liberty in New York.

8
Grand Palais

IMPORTANT: In the private cruises of 2, 3 and 4 hours. Built in 1897 for the Universal Exhibition of 1900, the Grand Palais, this monument was dedicated by the republic to the glory of French art.

9

Pont Alexandre III

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Inaugurated during the Universal Exhibition of 1900 by Tsar Nicholas II, the Pont Alexandre III is the symbol of Parisian romanticism. This majestic work was built in honor of the renewed friendship between France and Russia. At the center of its vault are 2 strong symbols: the Nymphs of the Seine bearing the arms of Paris and the Nymphs of the Neva bearing the arms of Russia.

10
Pont de la Concorde

IMPORTANT: In the private cruises of 2, 3 and 4 hours. Started from 1727, the Pont de la Concorde was not completed, due to lack of means, until 63 years later. It was thanks to the stones recovered from the Bastille fortress after the revolution that it was able to be finalized in 1790.

11

Musee d'Orsay

IMPORTANT: On the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Opened in 1986 to provide a majestic setting for 19th century masterpieces, the Musée d’Orsay now houses the most important collection of Impressionist paintings in the world. Built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition, Orsay was originally a railway station serving the southwest of France. Contrary to what its architecture suggests, the Orsay structure required almost twice as much metal as the Eiffel Tower for its construction. Orsay also benefits from more than 35,000 m2 of glass roof, allowing natural light to penetrate.

12
Louvre Museum

IMPORTANT: In the 2, 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Built by Philippe Auguste between 1190 and 1202, the Louvre was a fortified castle surrounding Paris. With François 1er, the Louvre was transformed from a castle into a Palace from 1546. It became the official royal residence until Louis IV abandoned it for Versailles in 1666.

13
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Paris

IMPORTANT: In the 3 and 4 hour private cruises. Built between 1163 and 1270 by Maurice de Sully on the foundations of an ancient Gallo-Roman temple, Notre-Dame Cathedral was the subject of titanic works for nearly 107 years.

14

Canal Saint-Martin

IMPORTANT: In the 4-hour private cruise. The Canal Saint-Martin, built under Napoleon in 1825, connects the Seine to the Bassin de la Villette. Crossing picturesque neighborhoods, its romantic bridges and locks offer a unique ride, mixing Parisian charm and historical heritage in the heart of the capital.

15

Capitainerie du Port de l'Arsenal de la Bastille

IMPORTANT: In the 4-hour private cruise. The Port de l'Arsenal, inaugurated in 1983, connects the Seine to the Canal Saint-Martin. Formerly a merchant port, it is now a green marina in the heart of Paris, offering a haven of peace for walkers and boaters, between the Bastille district and the Seine.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
