Evening outings in Paris

The French capital takes on a new look when night falls: streets light up, monuments are illuminated, the Eiffel tower sparkles … Paris is fittingly called ‘the City of Light’! Now is an ideal time to take a boat trip and discover the city in another light.

From the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame Cathedral, cruising past the Louvre Museum and Orsay Museum, discover Paris’s great monuments at night!

Cruises along the Seine

The major cruise operators offer evening cruises along the Seine: the Vedettes du Pont Neuf, the Bateaux-Mouches®, a cruise with commentary with the Bateaux Parisiens, la "Croisière Paris by Night" des Vedettes de Paris, the ‘Paris by Night cruise’ by Canauxrama. Foodies won’t want to miss out on a dinner cruise. Unforgettable moments not to be missed. And let's not forget the intimate cruises with Seine Avenue, Marins de Paris and Green River Cruises.
