The Seine slips past Paris like a story written in stone and steel, daring you to read the city from water. Step onto a small, covered launch at Port Javel and the river’s edge becomes a moving gallery: a compact Statue of Liberty, the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower, the gilt curves of Pont Alexandre III, the Louvre’s stone mass and the silhouette of Notre‑Dame.

History
The Seine corridor shaped Paris’ growth; Pont Neuf (completed early 17th century) was key to river traffic and civic life, while the Louvre evolved from a medieval fortress to a royal palace and global museum.
Conservation
River traffic and urban runoff affect the Seine; operators ask guests to avoid littering, and many local efforts focus on biodiversity improvement and cleaner water for fish and birds.
