About

Batobus offers a scenic riverboat experience along the Seine, guiding visitors through Paris’s most iconic landmarks. With nine carefully planned stops—including the Eiffel Tower, Louvre, Notre‑Dame, and Champs‑Élysées—patrons can hop on and off at their leisure, capturing the city’s historic charm from the water. Launched in 1989 as part of the Bicentennial celebrations, the service has evolved into a year‑round attraction, providing daytime cruising from 10 am to 7 pm during the majority of the year and extending to 9:30 pm in July and August. Boasts a fleet of colorful trimarans, each capable of holding up to 200 passengers, and offers various ticket options ranging from one‑day passes to annual season tickets. Whether you’re a day‑tripper looking for a quick glimpse of Paris’s most famous sites or a visitor planning an extended exploration, Batobus combines convenience, affordability, and a unique perspective on the city.
