    Soooooooooooo pretty!!!! This river is gorgeous- for the most part. La Seine River flows all through Paris. It's beautiful. The water and nature surrounding it. You could see many of the major sights seeing from the river. We walked along the seine river too and it's very pretty. Plenty of trees to stay in the shade. This river is exciting to see. There were a couple areas though, with homeless people in tents. I get that every city has homelessness. But seeing that makes the river seem a big trashy. Overall, a beautiful river.

    We had a dinner cruise along the Seine. It was nice to go people watching seeing them do the things I usually just see in the movies. I saw a lot of people dancing by the river. Some were couples and some were teens dancing hip hop. Pick the perfect time between daylight and sunset so you can watch the "Illumination" of La Tour Eiffel on the way back.

    The Seine is a 472 mile long river flowing through Paris. I had the opportunity to visit Paris and I was very happy to see the river up close. There's not much to say about this experience. I enjoyed my time near the river and the Paris views. It's clean. There's activities for recreational and tour boats. I love seeing the barges. I'm an Aquarius. I enjoy being near the water. I really enjoy being near the river. Any river! Like any body of water the Seine has a history of flooding. I wouldn't want to live too close! It's a nice river to visit. When you visit Paris I suggest you take a walk along the Seine River.

    This famous river flows from east to west through the heart of the city and divides Paris's Left Bank and Right Bank. We crossed the river numerous times over scenic pedestrian bridges. The left bank from our hotel to Norte Dame was scenic, the other side of the river had tents, piles of garbage & homeless. Lots of tour boats went up & down the river.

    Paris, France: La Seine River! Serendipity brought me here! Live with no regrets... if one could kiss such beauty! Je t'aime!

    "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while..." - The Princess Bride. I fell in love with her... La Seine River in Paris. Not the prettiest river I've encountered in this lifetime, but timeless history, objets d'art, and romance at sunset sets it apart. The history resonates walking La Seine... you feel the Medieval darkness to the Renaissance light. You cry for the eternal ashes of Jeanne d'Arc. You hear the battle cries of Napoléon. In more recent times La Seine was the destination for the elite American Airborne of WWII - reaching her would help liberate Paris and all of France! Liberté! Liberté! The tragedy of the '61 Paris Massacre started at Pont Saint-Michel and ended for many in her. My gift to you: La Seine has been the subject of famous impressionist paintings, including Monet's Bathers at La Grenouillere and Renoir's Seine River at Asnieres. La Seine is inevitable if in Paris... she draws you to her. Musée du Louvre; La Eiffel; Notre Dame all share her. In the daylight Parisians picnic with wine and baguettes. Tourists come at all hours for that one perfect photo op. Vendors call her home. As well as the wels catfish and grey heron. Children play, lovers hold hands, and La Seine continues living for another day... Je t'aime!

    Sunset on La Siene

    When I saw the River La Siene, I thought it was the loveliest sight and there is so much to see in Paris. I came by day, then again at sunset and later back at night. Strolling along the waterfront and watching the boats pass underneath. I may be bias as I am drawn to all bodies of water, but this one is a beautiful reflection of the city around it.

    While I was in town only for a short time for a work trip, we tried to maximize our stay as much as possible. Following a few work meetings, we took a quick break to stroll along the Seine after visiting the Arc de Triomphe and it was lovely. A great spot to grab some fresh air, see the slights, people watch and let time roll by. J'aime Paris!

    Paris city view via River Seine cruise.  So lovely!

    Paris is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. Last year, was my first time in Paris. This is the city center of arts and culture. There are numerous epic landmarks including the River La Seine. It's worth taking the river cruise so you can take in the gorgeous scenery. We booked the Eiffel tour which includes the River La Seine cruise. This was one of the highlights of our Paris excursion. We captured some gorgeous views of the Eiffel Tower and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. The cruise took about an hour or so and will pass several of the famous bridges. After the cruise, you take a tour down the river walk or check out the Louvre. We had an amazing boat tour and can check it off the to do list when in Paris!

    Breathtaking! Did not get to do a boat tour but I did get to walk along the Seine a couple of times during my vacation and each time was so relaxing. My favourite fun fact about the Seine is the statue of a man called Zouave that serves the purpose of warning the city about possible floods. If he gets his feet wet, prepare for higher than normal water levels. He's located on Pont de l'Alma and if you don't know about this fact, the statue looks really out of place. It is not centered and there are not any signs that explain who he is or what the statue is doing there (or at least I did not find it). The reason it is not centered is actually because there used to be 4.

    Severely epic views with unpaired food I'd say. The food tries to be there, just misses the mark. Don't get me wrong, it's not like the food was bad or anything just hard to match the views this cruise provides. Overall, the service is okay. Had an extremely immature couple right beside us which also killed a vibe. Overall, I'd rate this a mid tier dinner cruise.

    Cruising along La Seine on Bateaux-Mouches (September 2016)
    Michelle M.

    One of my favorite things to do in Paris is to cruise along the La Seine river and take pictures of Paris. There are several Seine river boat tours that you can book tickets for. My personal favorite is the Bateaux-Mouches because this is an uncovered double-decker boat so you can take amazing pictures of the Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Conciergerie, the Louvre, Pont Alexandre III, and the Musée d'Orsay. The boat ride lasts a little over an hour and costs €13.5 per adult. Tickets can be purchased online or at the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches kiosk (Pont de l'Alma), where the boat departs and returns. http://www.bateaux-mouches.fr/en/reservation/tickets TIP: Sunset is the ideal time to take the cruise because as it gets darker you will see the twinkling lights of the Eiffel Tower. For the best pictures sit on the left side of the upper deck. The boat turns around after Ile St Louis so the Eiffel Tower will be in all of your photos as you return. Also be sure to check out some of the 37 bridges that span across the La Seine river. The most beautiful and famous bridges include Pont de la Tournelle (links the Left Bank to Île Saint-Louis), Pont Marie (built in 1670, one of the oldest bridges in Paris), Pont au Double (cast iron bridge, originally built in 1626), Pont au Change (links Île Saint-Louis to the right bank and bears the initials of Napoleon), Pont Neuf (oldest bridge of Paris (1607) crosses the Île de la Cité), Pont des Arts (medieval-looking footbridge), Pont Alexandre III (beautiful bridge named after the Tsar of Russia), Passerelle Debilly (pedestrian bridge that offers great views of the Eiffel Tower), and the Pont d'Iéna (historic monument that links the Trocadero to the Eiffel Tower and Champ-de-Mars).

    During my trip to Paris I was able to take a river cruise on the Seine. Luckily the weather was pretty good on the date I went. I sat on top deck to take in all the sights. This is a great way to see Paris from a new angle. It's also very relaxing. The workers were very friendly and spoke about 6 different languages when pointing out different sights we were seeing as we crossed landmarks on the river. It was a really nice relaxing start to my morning. This is located directly near the Eiffel Tower.

    Cassandra Y.

    You will see River Seine quite often when you do the sightseeing in Paris. Many bridges in the city. For example, at Eiffel Tower, Musee Orsay, Notre-Dame, etc. I am sure during summer time, the boat ride will be nice. The river is quite clean, didn't see much garbage. At the Eiffel Tower, there is a stop for the river cruise tour.

Entrance to the basilica is free, and it's opened from 6am until 10:30pm. It was built with the "self cleaning" Chateau-Lando stone from France, and the rain and weathering keeps it white. Crowds linger on the steps and around the overlook areas. Vendors try to sell you cheap locks to put on the surrounding fencing (the locks covering the fences-even with signs saying "no locks permitted" are an eyesore and should be removed). Security line checks are long and in February 2026 we waited about 30 or 40 mins to enter. I can only imagine what chaos it is in the high season. The basicalla is beautful inside and well worth checking out, although quiet and repect are required as there are masses going on. For this visit the crypt was not available to enter, which was highly disappointing There is also a small train trolly like vehicle right outside that will take you on a 30 minute ride around Monmartre for 12 euros.

Once On Top I was almost 1,000 feet above ground and the views were dramatic. One level is fully enclosed behind large windows and the level above is open air with large metal screens for protection. That day the wind was calm so it was very pleasant to be on that level. On the open air level you can buy a glass of champagne and macarons to celebrate if you wish. Above you the tower rises for about another 100 feet for radio antennas, etc. It costs extra to go To The Top and it is worth it. If you do, go there first and then work your way down to the 2nd and then 1st levels. You can only access The Top by elevator. The 2nd level (400 feet) and 1st level (200 feet) are accessible by elevator and stairway. Remember it's much easier going downhill than uphill. By the way, the stairs are open air but enclosed with metal screens making it impossible for you to fall off. If you are on the 1st level and want to exit it is faster to do so by stairs rather than waiting on the elevator. There are upscale restaurants on the 1st and 2nd levels and there are chairs that you can sit on and enjoy the view. Actually, the famous French landmarks are better seen from the 2nd level than The Top. There are 2 Metro stations within less than 10 minute walking distance to the Tower so getting here is easy. It amazes me that this HUGE landmark was originally designed to be a temporary structure only, They were suppose to take it down but decided it was too popular.

The catacombs are part of Paris' abandoned mine and quarry network, and bones were moved to the catacombs because the cemeteries were running out of space. The first bones were transferred from the Cimetière des Saints-Innocents after the cemetery was closed in 1780 due to overuse. The catacombs are an extremely popular attraction, and purchasing tickets in advance is highly recommended as a limited number of people are admitted each hour, and with good reason -- the experience would be extremely unpleasant if overly crowded. However, you can only purchase tickets one week in advance, and the catacombs are not open on Mondays. The two full days we were in Paris were Sunday and Monday, so I had to ensure that we were able to get tickets for Sunday April 7. Fortunately I was successful! Tickets were €29 each, although per the website, they are now €31. Unfortunately, the catacombs are not accessible for people in wheelchairs or who have mobility issues -- the 1.5km long route has 243 stairs -- 131 to descend and 112 to ascend. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and if you want to see bones and skulls (no full skeletons, though), the Paris catacombs won't disappoint!
