Early morning on the Seine feels like a city taking a breath: the water pulls you forward, barges and rowers yielding to the steady slide of a low-profile Batobus. From the open rear terrace the Eiffel Tower rises, the Louvre’s glass prism glints, and Notre‑Dame keeps watch as the boat hums between nine city stops.

The Seine has shaped Paris’s development since Roman times; many quays and bridges reflect 19th‑century Haussmannian redesigns that opened the city’s sightlines.
Conservation
