More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the quay at the foot of the Eiffel Tower as the Seine pulls past, cool and steady, daring you to slow down. The boat slips away from Port de la Bourdonnais, the city’s stone banks sliding by — iron bridges, riverside cafés, the carved façade of the Musée d’Orsay coming into view. From the open deck the city unspools in a line of recognizably Parisian frames: the Louvre’s glass reflects, Notre-Dame’s silhouette rises, and the bridges arch like chapters of a long story.
