We went on the boat tour and its not worth it. Its very crowed and all you can see is the tops of the buildings (we had to sit inside) maybe if you got on the upper outside deck it would be better but it was a waist of time for me More

A great way to want to spend half a day in Paris is to visit the the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery in east Paris where you can see the graves of Jim Morrison, Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, and many others. It is shaded and a wonderful place to stroll for an hour or so. Then take the Metro to Juares and take the... More

Take the night cruise just before 10pm: it is around 1 hour in length and you will see the Eiffel light show twice, both at 10 and 11pm. Worth the late night! More

We were in town for a birthday party, being held on a Seine yacht. Cruising in the evening was wonderful, our return pass by the Tour Eiffel was timed to match the lighting of the strobes. More

It was fun seeing the little souvenir and art booths along the banks. I noticed that in certain places where you can cross over bridges, there were hundreds of padlocks placed onto the wire fencing along the bridge. Vendors sell the little padlocks so you can put you and your loved one's initials on it and "lock your love" in... More
