Lunch Break Adventure on the Seine

Sure, you may be familiar with the sights and major monuments of Paris. There’s the Eiffel Tower – where you’ll board your lunchtime vessel – the Louvre, and Notre Dame, but there are also other stunning feats of design and architecture along the Seine, and a lunch cruise down Paris’ most popular waterway will both educate and entertain while you bite into a sandwich or sip an afternoon coffee.

You may be feasting for the first time since your mid-morning snack, but your eyes will also be mesmerized by the historical offerings, such as the Grand et Petit Palais, the Obelisque de la Concorde, the Musee d’Orsay, the Academie Francaise, and even the Hotel de Ville before you have a stopover at Pont Marie. Admittingly, there’s a lot to see, and the onboard guide will share facts and information with guests in both French and English – non-native French speakers need not be concerned.

Now, at the stopover you have a choice – hop off the boat and catch a ride back to work, or stay on board and enjoy the ride back to Vedettes de Paris’ Eiffel Tower mooring location. It’s completely up to you! One-way tickets are available for the 30-minute guided cruise up or down the Seine, depending on where you board – at the Eiffel Tower or Pont Marie. But, if you have an hour-long lunch break, then doing a round-trip voyage is the way to go!

Tickets for the guided lunch cruise of Paris are 16 euros for those 12 years of age and older. And since online booking is preferable and most accessible, you can purchase your ticket before leaving the office for lunch, grab a sandwich and a cookie from Vedettes de Paris’ on-board catering and settle into your seat for some of the best scenery the city offers.

A great way to discover Paris in a different way. Smiling welcome, comfortable boat with the option of eating on board, seats on the roof offering great views of the capital's banks. A pleasant guided tour along the water.

FAQ

Questions and answers about the Lunch Cruise on the Seine in Paris
While enjoying your lunch cruise on the Seine, tour guides will share historical information and facts about the monuments that reside on both sides of the river. Floating through the heart of Paris, you’ll learn about architecture, art, and all sorts of fun facts to share at your next family gathering!
This is completely individual depending on how much time you have to spend aboard one of Vedettes’ vessels. Do you have a short break from work or an afternoon to while away? If you choose the one-way trip, you’ll have to have someone pick you up or take public transit to get back to wherever you need to be. A round-trip will bring you back to where you started your journey.
This is another personal preference because both options – daytime or nighttime – are excellent ways for experiencing Paris from the Seine. While one relies on sunlight to highlight the architecture and sights, the other depends on the glow of lights and the moon. Either way, each offering presents a unique perspective, so you might just have to try a lunch cruise on the Seine and an evening cruise to get the best of both worlds!
