The boats depart from the Port de Suffren at the foot of the Eiffel Tower every day of the year. Accompanied by commentary in French, English or Spanish, this cruise takes you past the most beautiful vistas the capital has to offer from the Musée d’orsay to the Louvre, the shimmering Pont Alexandre III and more, offering a journey into the historical heart of the city.

The company also offers luxurious cruises with a glass of champagne in hand. The Gourmand cruise with a crepe and beverage or the Snack, a combination of a hot or cold sandwich with beverages are some of the options on offer. Vedettes de Paris also offers theme cruises like the Mysteries of Paris for young children or the Sustainable Development cruise, the Impressionist cruise and a champagne tasting cruise in conjunction with the wine specialist Ô Château.

Right in the Port de Suffren the Vedettes de Paris also offers a host of eateries. There is a take-out spot where you can have a pizza, made to order, or you can settle into one of the two restaurants for lunch or dinner with a bewitching view out onto the Seine.
