You step down the iron stairs under Pont de Bir-Hakeim and the Seine opens like a slate ribbon threaded through light. The boat named "Paris en scène" waits along Île aux Cygnes; lamps on the quays wink as the city shifts from rush hour to evening. Inside, tables are set for a three-course cocotte dinner; outside, terraces promise unobstructed views of the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and the Louvre as they slide past.
