This statue was installed and inaugurated in 1889 at the Grenelle bridge, it then faced the Eiffel Tower and pointed its torch in the direction of the Elysée; she will finally be moved with her back to the Grande Dame in 1937 in order to face New York where her big sister is located we pass by boat in front of the statue
The Eiffel Tower was built to be one of the main attractions of the Paris Universal Exhibition in 1889. The 1889 Universal Exhibition occupied the entire Champ-de-Mars in Paris. We pass in front of the Eiffel Tower
A magnificent bridge. The engineers created a remarkable cast steel bridge, 160 meters long. As the specifications predicted, the Alexandre III Bridge is perfectly decorated. 32 bronze candelabra (these beautiful lampposts with several branches), 4 pillars 17 meters high topped with golden crowns, a rich cast iron decoration in the Louis XIV style and beautiful lion statues at each end magnify this bridge, which has been classified as a historic monument since 1975. We pass under this bridge
The construction of the first stone bridge in France was decided in 1577 by King Henry III, who appointed a commission responsible for ensuring the smooth running of the work. A year later, the first stone of the bridge was laid by the king himself, in the presence of the queen mother Catherine de Medici and the king's wife, Louise de Lorraine. The work will continue until 1588. We pass in front of the bridge
A magnificent island The Île de la Cité is the cradle of Paris, where the initial nucleus of Lutetia developed. Over time, in the shelter of its fortifications, the civil, military and religious powers of the region were established there and then developed. After the year 1000, the Capetian kings built a first Royal Palace (which became the current Palace of Justice). The bishops of Paris built Notre-Dame Cathedral. From that moment on, the Ile de la Cité was no longer sufficient to accommodate all the inhabitants. They then established themselves on the island of Saint Louis and on both banks of the Seine. We pass in front of the island and on both banks
Notre Dame de Paris Building dating from the Middle Ages, the first stone was laid in 1163 and construction lasted two centuries, ending in 1351. The architecture was extraordinary for the time. The stained glass windows, the nave, the framework and the towers which climb to a height of 69 meters are a real technical feat in front of the cathedral. we pass in front
Saint Louis Island, a place ideal for strolling, attracts lovers of Old Paris, walkers and tourists from all over the world with its unique atmosphere. Maison Berthillon and its famous ice creams, the beautiful bookstores, the pretty shops and the charming cafés.

Captain Alexis is a great guide. The tour was perfect, he took awesome pictures, and he is really knowledgeable (and funny!). Highly recommend.
Excellent experience. Would highly recommend and do again. Thank you Captain Alex!
What a beautiful way to end our day in Paris. The kids only wished it was longer. Thank you Captain Alexis for being the best captain, for the history and landmarks you shared with us, and for all the great photos. Highly recommend!
Our river cruise was a wonderful experience! I had never seen Paris by boat and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend.
This was an amazing experience. Captain Alexis was so helpful and friendly. It was a hot summer day, and he provided a cooler for our refreshments. He suggested great photo spots and told us lots of interesting facts! It was such a fun and relaxing time out on the Seine. I highly recommend!
Had a wonderful ride with Alexis he was so kind and helpful in pointing out monuments and such and was so good with our small child
Our private boat tour on the seine was our favorite part of our family trip to Paris. The captain was so kind and informative. He took photos at the perfect locations for us to look back on fondly. The communication was excellent and we located the docking port very easily. Blankets were provided as it was cool that day but they also had cups and wine opener for the wine and snacks we brought with us. Would highly recommend to anyone!!
One of the best experiences we had while visiting Paris! Captain Alex was amazing and so accommodating to our group. He has everything we needed onboard and was a fabulous tour guide. Highly, Highly recommend!
We had a great time on Alexis' boat. It's pricey but a much more fun way to see things than the bateux mouche. Highly recommended.
We love the view from the Seine. Everyone in our party thought this was one of the highlights of our trip. Captain Alexis was phenomenal. He has a fantastic sense of humor.
