Paris, Ile-de-France, France
|There’s no better way to see the sights in one magical sweep than by boat along the Seine.
From the filigree girders of the Eiffel Tower to the giant clock of the Orsay Museum and the Mansard rooftops of the Louvre – not to mention the statue-studded bridges – the waterway provides a unique and crowd-free viewpoint for taking in the city’s treasures.
Book a dining cruise on a riverboat, hire your own private boat or opt for the hop-on-hop-off boat-buses. They’re all good, but for extra romance, go at night, when the monuments are lit up and the Eiffel Tower sparkles.
For dinner cruises, Ducasse sur Seine is consistently excellent, offering modern French cuisine and panoramic windows.
Batobus’ hop-on-hop-off service covers nine stops, making it a fun option for sightseeing while getting around town.
But the most dramatic way to do it – with the wind in your hair and rosé in your hand – is with Lakana Paris Cruise, whose captain-commandeered four-person boats give you a bespoke ride along the ripples.
Boat trips and dinner cruises run all year round, so check individual websites for times. Spring and autumn are the best times, when it’s hot but not scorching. And at night, when the city twinkles.
