along the river you see arts , you see people hanging out specialy in the afternoon , its a perfect place to just hangout and people watch or boat watch. restaurants also line parts of the river and we ate in some of them. it is always a part of a parissian experience to do that. the view of these people lining the river banks in the afternoon is a beautiful sight from our boat passing through. the buildings are all lighted and it brings the city alive at night
