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.

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!

Food was good to excellent; service was ok at best - it seemed our server was inexperienced. Boat was excellent, except lights outside the windows significantly diminished visibility due to reflection.

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.
