The Seine threads through Paris with a quiet insistence, tugging you along as you pedal past stone quays, river barges and the arched profiles of centuries-old bridges. On a private three-hour ride that stays close to the river, guides steer groups across the Right and Left Banks so landmarks unfold in a steady, theatrical sequence: Notre-Dame’s façade, Île Saint-Louis, the Louvre’s glass pyramid, and a long, low view of the Eiffel Tower.
