Things to Know Before you Arrive

Paris offers beautiful views and one of the most iconic is the Seine River. It is not only a partitioning feature of the city but also a unifying one. Here is a list of activities that can be done in and around the Seine River:

• The Seine River is a place of relaxation and beauty for visitors. Take a stroll along its banks, cross the bridges, picnic with your family, or lay on the grass of the parks that line the river. Take pictures of the embellished stone quays or grab a coffee while enjoying the panoramic view of Paris.

• Both sides of the Seine are lined with significant landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, Notre Dame Cathedral, City Hall, and many more. The Seine River is one of the major attractions of Paris, which is why many restaurants and hotels are located on its banks.

• The top activity on your itinerary should be a cruise on the Seine River. Whether you want to eat, do a city tour, or travel across Paris, a cruise is the best option.

• The Seine River is a popular tourist spot and its cruises are often full. Make sure to reserve a spot in advance if you wish to go on a Seine River cruise.

• June-August is the peak season for Seine River tourism, the best chance to visit the Seine River is the shoulder season from April-June and October-November.

• If your visit to Paris is for more than a day, purchase a 2-day pass for a hop-on and hop-off cruise to save money.
