Since the Middle Ages, the Seine river is the spine of the city of Paris. For centuries, the Parisian people try to make the best out of the river and its banks.The Seine is crossed by many old and beautiful bridges. The oldest one is Pont-Neuf near the Notre-Dame cathedral, inaugurated in 1607. May be the most interesting one is Alexandre III bridge near the Invalides military hospital, inaugurated in 1900 during the Paris world exhibition. Many of the most famous Paris monuments are on the river banks. The list includes Notre-Dame, the Louvre and the Eiffel tower.
With BATEAUX MOUCHES, the popular French boat, a river cruise on the Seine is a good way to discover Paris, the beauty of its bridges and monuments and the richness of its history. A river cruise is also very relaxing after a few full days of visits and shopping in Paris.
