The Seine pulls you toward the city’s open edge as the boat slips from Port de la Rapée, rooftop chairs facing a changing skyline. Daylight sketches Haussmann facades and the Louvre’s slate roof; later, lamps wink on and the river becomes a moving gallery. When the Eiffel Tower flashes at 21:00, the deck hushes — a simple, shared ritual that crystallizes the Paris evening.
