Paris Canal Saint-Martin & Seine 2-Hour Cruise - Live Guide Commentary

A 2-hour guided cruise linking
the canal and the Seine

Board at Quai de Valmy (71–79 Quai de Valmy), near the Hôtel du Nord just a few steps from Place de la République. With live commentary in English and French, you'll spend about 45 minutes on Canal Saint-Martin and about 75 minutes on the Seine, seeing Paris from the water.

Pass the locks and tunnel of Canal Saint-Martin

Follow Canal Saint-Martin, part of Paris's historic canal system, past its unique locks and romantic footbridges, and glide through the vaulted tunnel under Bastille. You can also watch up close as the boat passes through the locks and adjusts to the water level.

See Paris's famous landmarks from the Seine

Once on the Seine, iconic landmarks such as Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, the Musée d'Orsay, the National Assembly and the Eiffel Tower come into view one after another. This boat took part in the river parade of the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony, so your guide also shares stories about the Olympics.

Disembark on Île de la Cité below Pont Neuf

The cruise ends at Quai de l'Horloge on Île de la Cité, below Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris. It does not return to the starting point, so it's a good place to continue exploring Île de la Cité and the surrounding area.

※ The cruise operates rain or shine.
