COMPAGNIE DES BATEAUX-MOUCHES

It was my 66th birthday. My husband and I were on an overly ambitious European Vacation from the United States. I had booked the Excellence Tour with Bateaux-Mouches several months prior. Our vacation was wonderful but I wasn’t feeling my best. I had broken my two front teeth in half two weeks prior in Portugal after face planting on the beautiful cobblestones when I tripped over my husband’s wheelchair. Then a Luggage Shipping company had inadvertently shipped my luggage from Spain back to the US instead of to Paris. I had not slept a single moment the night before because all my sleep aids we’re in that bag and the Saint Germaine soccer team had won the championship the day before and the raucous celebration went all night long, and on my birthday a big part of the city was closed to traffic and it looked like I might be pushing my husbands chair, both ways. (Ultimately I was spared that). And to top it all off, some of the reviews I had read suggested this would be a gimmicky, tourist trap excursion. Thankfully, we decided to take a risk and go. I am SO HAPPY that we did. This was not gimmicky, it wasn’t “tourist trappy” at all. It was a romantic , lazy ride along the beautiful River Seine as the sun set. There was an excellent violist and grand piano pianist who were very, very good! The food was creative and tasty. My husband said it was the best escargot he has ever had. My steak was a little less done than I prefer but the steak and au jus was very good and I ate every bite. The service was impeccable. If you book this tour, spring for the Excellence menu. It is worth it. There are just extra touches that make the little bit of extra cost, money well spent. We went to the Eiffel Tower, we visited Notre Dame, but this cruise really was my favorite part of visiting Paris.

Locuri suficiente pentru toata lumea chiar daca era weekend si ora apusului

Super expérience

Great, scenic tour.

Bellissima esperienza lungo la Senna. Dura circa un'oretta ed è affascinante vedere i luoghi più iconici di Parigi dal fiume.
Vi consiglio di stare davanti per godere appieno della vista.
