About
Journey along the Seine and discover one of the most iconic rivers in the world. Flowing 777 km through northern France, the Seine cuts a graceful artery through Paris, linking historic landmarks—from the Louvre and Notre‑Dame to the Eiffel Tower—to vibrant cafés, museums and bustling boulevards. Its banks have shaped the city’s cultural heritage for centuries, hosting everything from ancient Roman settlements to modern Olympic events. Whether you choose a leisurely 2‑hour cruise that glides past classical bridges, or a brisk river‑side stroll to soak up the atmosphere, the Seine offers an unforgettable glimpse into Parisian life.
