You step onto the quay at Port de la Bourdonnais and the Seine pulls you away from the city’s constant motion—water nudging the hull, bridges reclining above like iron arches. For an hour the river becomes the narrator: the Eiffel Tower watches you leave, Pont Neuf stoops to let the boat through, and Notre-Dame’s silhouette grows and shrinks with every bend.
