Night falls soft over the Seine and the city lights begin to stitch themselves along the water’s edge. A low-lying boat pulls away from Port de Solférino opposite the Musée d’Orsay; inside, tables run beside broad windows so the river and its monuments become a moving gallery. The piano and singer set a gentle rhythm as a three-course dinner and a glass of Champagne arrive, each course punctuating views of Notre-Dame, the Conciergerie, Place de la Concorde and the Louvre sliding by.
