I highly recommend. Perhaps the best cruise line on the Seine - A very nice experience. Friendly welcome, warm organization with good reviews suitable also for children. “Human-sized” boats and the comfort of electricity (and it’s good for Paris and the planet)

Beautiful but special cruise - Yeah, good. This cruise combined with a discovery of Paris by TootBus allowed us to discover the main monuments of Paris from different angles. Everyone can cruise according to their wishes (sitting outside, sitting inside, passing from port to starboard and vice versa depending on the comments of the guide). In addition to the planned cruise we were able to discover an unplanned activity: to be evacuated from the boat by the famous Paris firefighters. Our boat had a problem and became impossible to steer, we were able to dock with the help of other boats under the watchful eyes of the river brigade and be evacuated. Les Vedettes de Paris sent us another boat and we were able to finish our cruise (with 1 hour more on the clock).

Seine kids cruise - Fun way to see the sights. They were organized and the kids had fun. It was just the right amount of time.

Everything perfect except... - Everything perfect except the awful witch at the bar who literally ruined my trip. The captain so nice, the super interesting guide and at the bar a kind of stupid and mean witch who traumatized me with her long nails and who handled pancakes without gloves. My son was sick and wanted apple juice but she refused to serve me because I noticed her lack of hygiene...

The boat was small and... - The boat was small and perfect for a small group of families. However, it was not as “kid oriented” as advertised. The tour was mostly in French and while the host asked questions to the kids, it was really not very didactic. She definitely did not keep the kids’ attention for long. The bar was pretty expensive and did not have coffee available (terrible for an early morning tour).

The ticketing and... - The ticketing and boarding process were easy. The snacks ans bar area had good service. It was very difficult to hear the tour guide on the boat. This was disappointing for our family.
