The Seine slides past the city like a ribbon of light; on an evening cruise the river seems to pull the skyline into motion. Passengers board a glass-covered bateau near the Eiffel Tower and drift beneath bridges while the city’s façades glow—Notre‑Dame’s silhouette, the Louvre’s low-lit stone, and the Eiffel Tower’s timed sparkle all claim the horizon.
