Paris at the First Lodges - Ducasse sur Seine Lunch Cruise

Very nice experience Silent boat Super environment as much as the sun was from the part Beautiful navigation that allows to admire all the great monuments along the Seine until Notre Dame Very professional service by young styles and smiling Beautiful plates with succulent dishes accompanied by a good champagne We were conquered Thank you to Santa Claus who spoiled us

We had made the choice of lunch in three courses. The welcome and service are professional. The meal and food correspond to the expected standard. Cruise is a plus We were not disappointed

Beautiful place for lunch on the Seine beautiful map and welcome It lacks a bit of refinement with a name as prestigious as duchess But boarding under the Eiffel Tower is quite charming Things to do once in a lifetime

I wanted something special for my wife (and I) on our most recent trip to Paris. The Ducasse sur Seine dinner cruise sounded fantastic. In many ways, it was. But, it was also rather disappointing. To some extent it was perhaps us. Middle class Americans, perhaps not the best food connoisseurs. But. We wanted to try to expand our palates. We arrived early for dinner and basically stood for an hour riverside until the boat opened. The boat, the setting, the staff were all fantastic. We have traveled Europe enough to anticipate that portions will be smaller, but that there will be more of them. I was glad I had good cellphone service, so I could look up what we were eating. It was an adventure. I wish I could say we loved it - but, to be honest it was wasted on our poor palates. I left feeling the best of my meal was my wine and the bread. Everyone should have a $250/person dinner at least once in their life. I just wish it was a memory I cherished. Rather, than thinking we could have gone to Bordeaux for the same price.

Excellent experience, ideal setting and cuisine that lives up to the promise. How about 5*? Simply because given the standing of the place I thought it was a shame not to be part of the tables that were offered coffee at the end of the meal. I also asked for a red worm to accompany my dish and I never had it. So certainly I could have called a waiter but considering the standing I felt I didn’t have to. However, this did not spoil our experience.

The restaurant is set on a beautiful glass boat, offers an absolutely unforgettable experience. Between discovering high-level French gastronomy and cruising through the most emblematic bridges of Paris, everything is brought together for a magical moment. The dishes are very fine, with a real signature of the chef on each plate. The flavors are fair, balanced, and highlight the best French local products. As for wines, the selection is remarkable, with prestigious references such as Pierre Peters, Barons de Rothschild, Cristal or Dom Pérignon. There is also a great selection of French wines from different regions, perfect to accompany every step of the meal. Mood on the boat is chic and relaxed, with an exceptional panoramic view of Paris along the way. And if you’re lucky enough to take this fair weather cruise, don’t miss going up to the roof terrace to enjoy a coffee with a breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower – a real moment of grace. 💡 Small tip: this experience comes at a cost (count about €400 for two people), but if you are a lover of French gastronomy and want to have an exceptional dinner on the water, it is well worth it. A moment suspended in time, which I highly recommend to those who want to discover Paris differently, between refinement, flavors, and elegance

It could have been a very nice experience... The food is good, the Service nice but unfortunately we had a table in the middle of the boat ... opposite the entrance ... the only place where there is no sun breeze above the windows. As soon as we arrived it was incredible heat. It was July 26th .. a waiter offered to open a door nearby to create a draft but did not do so. As soon as our installation one of the two couples installed near us was able to change tables. We had lunch with far too high a temperature which ruined the experience for all three of us. Big disappointment. Even if the dishes were very good lunch in such conditions has no point!

It was a pleasant cruise but be aware the portions are small - it was perfect for us but if your a big eater it is on the smaller side

Two years ago I did a lunch cruise on the Bateauxparisiens. It was lovely. But this cruise on the electric Ducasse sur Seine for lunch was way more luxurious. Quiet and elegant. The staff gracious. The food was marvelous hip French. You purchased beverages, which is fine. I’m picky about my champagne and they had a fabulous top end rose by the glass. No tour guide pointing out the sites. No photographer pushing pictures, no one hacking tee shirts. I took my 15 year old granddaughter and she loved it. Not for young children though. This was unique and worth every penny.

The food was excellent. The service average but a beautiful ride. The only real problem was getting to the boat. The only way there is down steps from the road above and you must go under a bridge. The litter was awful and the horrible smell made us all gag. The city isn’t keeping it clean so the boat crew should clean it to keep such filth from their customers.
