Boarding at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, the Seine slips past in reflective lanes of orange and slate; lights from grand façades catch in the water and the city slides by like a film. The boat hums silently — 100% electric — while a curated playlist and the murmur of other passengers set a relaxed rhythm. The river seems to tease, daring you to slow down and watch the monuments change their faces as the night deepens.
