Step by Step

A cruise along the River Seine and the Canal Saint-Martin is a very original way to discover the city from a different perspective. For approximately two and a half hours, you’ll sail in comfort through the historic canal system built by Napoleon in the early 19th century.

The tour will take you past, from the water, monuments situated near the banks, such as the Louvre Museum, Île Saint-Michel and Notre Dame Cathedral. An expert local guide will provide you with all the information as the cruise progresses along the set route.

This type of tour allows you to gain a different perspective on the city, discovering places you wouldn’t otherwise see. You’ll travel through dimly lit tunnels beneath the Place de la Bastille, emerge onto a romantic waterway, and explore Paris’s legendary neighbourhoods via the locks.

You can choose to enjoy the tour on the upper deck or in the cruise boat’s interior cabin. Both areas are equipped with seating to ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable journey.

    This cruise took us through canals to areas of Paris we never knew existed. To be honest, we didn't realise how extensive and interesting the canals are.
