It was one of the best meals of my life. I got to experience a whole slew of new foods. Some weren't for me, like Foie Gras, but the beef wellington was the best meal I have ever had! I loved every second of this experience. My waiter was awesome!

Good food, fair service
Excellent Food, untrained staff, missing Aperitif and Dinner requiring intervention by Maitre‘d. Menu was changed and waiter was unable to explain the choices.

Nice dinner but definitely room for improvement.
The cruise and the dinner was very nice however for the first 30 minutes we were ignored; only the photographer came over to see us. I finally got up and found the gentleman in charge who was very nice and sent the waitress over. We had paid for the Admiral menu which was supposed to be a drink when you arrived on board as well as mineral water and wine with dinner. I ended up having to argue with the waitress and show her my receipt to finally clarify our meal/drinks however everyone else had already been served their drinks so it was a bit late for us… After all of the confusion I still had to pay extra for the beef - in my opinion that should have been taken care of to make up for the earlier mistakes.

See Paris in the splendor of nightfall

My first time in Paris. There was so much to do.
I booked the night time river cruise to see the city in night mode.
It was beautiful.
I recommend adding a night cruise to your itinerary for Paris. It was so beautiful.
Staff did an excellent job and food was great.

Good service

Good service, good experience, I didn’t appreciate the food very much, not because of the taste of the meals, just personal taste.

For the rest, totally recommended

Service was very friendly, but spent majority of the cruise waiting for food
Service was very friendly, but we didn't receive our entrees until 30 minutes till the end of the ride when everyone else had already finished their meals and were receiving their desserts. They managed to still bring us dessert and coffee but it all felt quite rushed and you could tell everyone was scrambling to get everything out. We appreciate them doing their best, but overall the food was just okay in the end.

Ok Cruise food could improve
They tried hard to please, but the food was average. Boat in nice shape. Entree was served 10 mins before cruise was scheduled to end and dessert way after. Not first class but they tried hard! I give them an E for effort!

It was a very nice experience
It was a very nice experience, great service and breathtaking views of different llandmarks, apecially the lEifel Tower with the sparkling lights. The satff was very attending , the only area that needs improvement is the choice of foods from the menu. I highly recommend this dinner cruise to anyone who plans to visit Paris.

Worth it if you plan to visit Paris
We took great advantage of the Paris Pass! It was nice not to have to buy passes & tickets everywhere. The Metro/RER pass was awesome.

It was just fine but our least favorite meal in Paris by far. It was very basic and there are so many other ways to see the sites. I would not recommend, but not because it was horrible, but because there is so much more to do that is better.

Excellent Cruise with Great Service
This cruise was amazing. The boat was beautiful and we had a window table. We ordered the Amiral menu, which included champagne and a welcome cocktail, and we definitely recommend it. The appetizer was creative and delicious. We both had the duck and potatoes for the main dish and loved it. The dessert was also great. The views from the Seine River are increible. We highly recommend this dinner cruise!

Good experience. Decent food and good service. DO NOT take this tour for sightseeing as we did, as you actually never see anything really. The Seine is very low in the ground. Think of it as going to a fine restaurant on the water.

Capitaine Fracasse
We had a great time celebrating my husband's 70th birthday and the staff were superb. Our only reservation was that we had to wait in another boat after registering and then walk to the actual boat and the weather wasnt very good. We would have preferred to register on the boat we were sailing in.

Thankyou yes, we had a wonderful time. The meal on the cruise was especially good - well prepared, very tasty and good value. Didn't see much of the sights as we met an American couple getting onto the boat and spent a very pleasant 2 hoirs chatting to them over dinner!

Dinner cruise on the Seine. Exellent service and the food was very good. The view of Paris from the river is magnificant. We didn't have time to watch the seenery from the upper deck, the trip could have been 1 hour longer.

The cruise was great, food was excellent and service was very quick. The line up for Capitaine Fracasse and loading area left something to be desired as you all wait by a poorly marked metal gate until moments before you are to leave.

Other than that the experience was well worth the money.

The cruise was wonderful and the food absolutely excellent! We sat in the middle of the boat. Upgrading to a window seat would have been well worth it, but we still had a good view. The length of the cruise was perfect -- not too long and not too short. We got out just in time to see the Tower sparkle at the top of the hour. It was a terrific evening!

What a wonderful experience to travel down the River Seine with the moon out. It was a lovely night and it was Friday 11th February so we were over in Paris for a romantic valentine's weekend and can only say that it was a great success. I always wanted to have dinner on the River Seine so it was a special night with my boyfriend. Unfortunately all the window seats were gone but that did not ruin the view. The food, service and ambiance was top class. Definitely worth a trip. Only problem was trying to find the boat. There is a sign on the other side for parking but the taxi thought the boat at that sign was the boat as did other guests and we were all racing across the bridge as did not realise it was at other side of river. Better signage of where the boat is located. Thank you for memorable trip.

hello, I was pleasantly surprised dinner was perfect, very good money, the perfect amount of food, the waiter service very good, even bought a picture that cost 20 euros, my girlfriend and I enjoyed it, I strongly recommend to everybody
PD: very important to catch the drinks service, it's worth, we caught it very well, other people pay too

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our dinner cruise on the Capitaine Fracasse, organised through the Come-to-Paris website. The setting and comfort of the boat were even nicer than expected, and the food was delicious and interesting. The sights of Paris by night were lovely.
The only concern was a question over our prepaid voucher, as we were aksed to pay again. This was sorted out by the staff before the end of the cruise, but the handling of the prepaid vouchers could be improved.
I would recommend to friends travelling to Paris to go on the cruise.

The reservation was O.K. We both have enjoyed the trip very much and the weather was good as well.
One small remark: there was no music on board.

Editorial Review

Eric RENAUD
4.6/5
A humanistic epic, rich in adventures and emotions.

Ah, "Captain Fracasse," what a fascinating work! This novel by Honoré de Balzac, published in 1836, unfolds a vibrant universe filled with colors and adventures. This masterpiece is not only a testament to its time but also a celebration of the human spirit, embodied by a captivating protagonist who represents the dream of change and the quest for self-discovery.

The main character, Baron de Sigognac, is anything but a conventional hero. His transformation from a destitute noble to Captain Fracasse reveals incredible depth and significant evolution. It is an ode to creativity, daring, and a love for literature, sweeping us into a whirlwind of theater and comedy. Balzac, with his keen sense of observation, portrays human behavior and the complexities of society in his era, while also interspersing moments of tenderness and melancholy throughout his work.

The theatrical world in which the baron navigates enhances the charm of this book. The intertwining plots and the flamboyant characters around him add humor and lightness, all while revealing the social tensions and struggles of the time. Moreover, this work touches on themes of identity, the need for belonging, and the hope for renewal—universal topics that still resonate today.

In summary, "Captain Fracasse" is not just a simple novel; it is a true humanist epic, a reflection on the meaning of life, the role of fate, and the impact of the choices we make. It is a book that one reads and rereads with pleasure, discovering new nuances and unexpected depths on every page. A genuine invitation to dream and to believe in the impossible, dear friends!
