Explore the French capital on a sightseeing cruise along the River Seine and continue along Canal Saint-Martin. See Parisian landmarks, including Notre Dame and the Hotel du Nord before sailing into the underground vault.
Start your day in Paris with one of its most enchanting attractions, and take a cruise along the Canal Saint-Martin and River Seine.
Embark in the center of the Parc de la Villette, and cruise gently along the canal to Rue de Crimée’s elevated bridge, as it goes through the Bassin de la Villette, before entering the magnificent Rotonde by Ledoux.
Your adventure begins with the first lock at the Récollets Center, where you will catch sight of the Hotel du Nord. Discover the Canal Saint-Martin, filled with the poetry of its romantic paths and pedestrian bridges, bordered by chestnut trees and populated by fishermen.
Then, the boat will be plunged into darkness as you enter a tunnel of more than 1-mile, taking you through a mysterious underground vault that is perforated by light holes. Filled with magic and beauty, when you emerge into the light at Arsenal Port, you will see the July Column of Place de la Bastille ahead of you.
This is when you enter the River Seine. From here, take a short cruise along the River Seine, past the Île Saint-Louis and Île de la Cité, to end your tour just after midday at the Musée d’Orsay.

I loved the guide, he had so many great stories!!!
Excellente découverte de Paris d'une manière différente. Expérience à recommander vivement.
visite très agréable avec une guide très intéressante naturelle et sympathique
too long for children
The cruise ended after an hour. We had to disembark at the Hotel du Nord because there was a problem with the bridge, which couldn't open. It was very frustrating not to be able to complete the cruise.
2時間半のクルーズなので、時間的に余裕がある人にはのんびりと少人数でのクルーズができるのでおすすめです。
Die Fahrt über den Kanal St Martin mit seinen diversen Schleusen und über die Seine war super schön! Unser Guide Lea war sehr freundlich und hat viele interessante Geschichten während der Fahrt erzählt. Das Highlight war aber die Tunnelfahrt unter dem Place Bastille durch! Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung, wenn man an Schleusen, kleinen Kanälen und Tunneln interessiert ist und eine ausgefallenere, ruhigere Bootsfahrt machen möchte.
Notre voyage était fini après 1h au lieu de 2,5h à cause d'un pont qui ne s'ouvrait pas et depuis aucun moyen de joindre getyourguide (le numéro proposé est un numéro de SNCF surtaxé) à propos d'une geste commerciale de dédommagement. On est très decu d'un tel managment. PS: Les membres de l'equipe ont fait leur mieux pour entretenir les touristes pendant les 40 minutes d'arrêt forcé.
Sehr bemühte Reiseleitung, die in englisch und französisch sehr viel über den Kanal und die Umgebung zu berichten wusste! Empfehlung!
