Your Private boat Captain Guide Explore Historical Paris
Overview
To guarantee you an authentic welcome, I choose to limit the number of private cruises each month. As a private captain and passionate guide, it is a real pleasure to show you the history of Paris aboard a comfortable boat.
Board in Paris at 950 meters from the Eiffel Tower. Pont de Grenelle 75015 Paris.
Explore aboard a private boat just for you, the heart of Paris, passing under its most beautiful bridges and its historic monuments.
Pass by the most beautiful monuments of Paris:
The Statue of Liberty. In front of the Eiffel Tower, the Pont Neuf, the Musée d'Orsay, the Île Saint-Louis, and Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Come together, as a family, with children, or with your friends. For a marriage proposal.
