More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The Seine pulls you along like a quiet guide as you step onto the glass-fronted terrace of Le Bistro Parisien, feet almost touching the Eiffel Tower. Light reflects off the river and gilds the façades of the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay as the boat slips under ornate bridges; conversations dim, and the city’s layered history takes the foreground.

History
The Seine has been Paris’s central thoroughfare since Roman times; many of the riverside palaces and bridges you pass date to medieval and 19th‑century urban projects.
Conservation
The Seine’s water quality has improved in recent decades thanks to better wastewater treatment; visitors are asked not to discard litter into the river and to use designated bins on the quays.
