The Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches cruise does not stop. It takes a tour around the main monuments of Paris between the Eiffel Tower and the tip of Île Saint Louis. If you are considering making stops on the Seine and using the boats as a means of transport, you should rather use the Batobus shuttle service.

The promenade cruise from the Alma bridge takes you around the must-see sites and monuments of Paris: the route passes through the Louvre Museum, the Town Hall, the Conciergerie, Notre-Dame de Paris, the Musée d'Orsay, the Trocadéro and of course the Eiffel Tower.

What are the tourist attractions around the Bateaux-Mouches?

Next to the Alma Bridge, culture lovers will not be left out a few meters from the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris and the Yves-Saint Laurent Museum in particular. If you went on a night cruise on the Seine, continue the experience with a show at Crazy Horse de Paris located on the other side of Place de l'Alma at the entrance to avenue George V.

Do we need to book a Bateaux-Mouches promenade cruise in advance?

the tour is perfectly fine. It takes you up and down the river for just over an hour which is plenty. It goes from the louvre to the eiffel tower and provides a brief commentary of every landmark along the way.
Some improvements would be better restrooms, improve the tannoy so that it can be heard when seated outside and consider providing a snack bar

Overall it was a smooth cruise and nice to see Paris from the river.
It was crowded on board; the commentary was in a few languages, much more then the 3 that were mentioned when I booked the cruise and therefore difficult to follow.
The English commentary started only 15 min after we departed.

It was great but the toilet was disgusting. You could see lots of things the Eifel Tower etc.
When you are at the top you wave to everyone and cheer. The staff was great . But there wasn't a bar 🍸
so it was just seats.

Lovely boat - open and plenty of room to move around. Thoroughly enjoyable way to see Paris’ buildings at night all lit up.

Great trip, I was a bit concerned that taking the boat at night we would miss some sites but we did not. I enjoyed the trip.
