Full description

Explore the sights of Paris at your own pace with a 24-hour or 48 consecutive hours pass to the Batobus hop on - hop off shuttle service along the River Seine, and jump on and off at 9 strategic stops to see sights such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Louvre, and more. Cruise through the heart of Paris, admiring landmark monuments along the river bank from the comfort of a glassed-in boat. Then, stop to explore further at your leisure. • Tour Eiffel - Port de la Bourdonnais. Jump off at the foot of the great Parisian landmark, and ascend for panoramic city views from the viewing platforms. The stop is also convenient for the Cité de l’Architecture museum, where exhibits include casts of French architecture from the 12th to 18th centuries. • Musée d'Orsay - Quai de Solférino. Located a 2-minute walk from the Musée d'Orsay, this stop is perfect for those who want to explore the world of Impressionists artists, such as Monet, Degas, Renoir, Cézanne, and Van Gogh. • St-Germain-des-Prés - Quai Malaquais. Hop off near the Institut de France, home of Paris artists and intellectuals, and discover historic sights, such as the famous Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore. • Notre-Dame - Quai de Montebello. Admire the architectural harmony and Gothic gargoyles of the most iconic cathedral in Paris, and explore the carefree student atmosphere of the Latin Quarter. • Jardin des Plantes - Cité de la Mode et du Design. Wander among nature in the main botanical garden of Paris, and explore the museums in the garden grounds, including the Grande Galerie de l'Évolution and Paleontology Museum. Explore the city within a city dedicated to creativity: design, fashion, innovation, and events. • Hotel de Ville - Pont d'Arcole. Stop here to visit the historic City Hall of Paris, go to the Pompidou Centre, and wander the bohemian streets of the Marais district. • Louvre - Pont Royal and Pont du Carrousel. Discover a Paris quarter where history and the history of art come together, and see centuries of art, from Egyptian antiquities to Renaissance masterpieces. • Place de la Concorde. Stroll down one of the most elegant streets in Paris, home to five-star hotels and chic boutiques, and see the Grand Palais, Petit Palais, and tree-lined Avenue Montaigne. • Invalides - Pont Alexandre III.

Excellent way to get around and see the sites, especially with kids. The boat stops close to each site and returns every 20/25 minutes to set off to the next. I prefer the boat to the bus as you avoid traffic and busy streets. Not overly busy so no pushing for seats. Great value for money.

Overall it was a great experience. Batobus was a great way of getting about and avoiding being stuck in traffic jams. Buses were every 20 minutes and stopped at very convenient locations. Only one downside- our first point of getting on was at the Eiffel Tower stop, and the phone signal was very poor at this point, that we weren’t able to download tickets for scanning. Staff were able to allow us on and take us to a stop where we did get signal, which was fortunate, but thought for a while we were going to have to buy another set of tickets at the ticket office .

The boat trip is a hop off, hop on service. This was a great way to see the highlights of Paris and also a nice way to relax in between the sights and just sit back and see Paris from the river. It is also very good value compared to the tour buses, although of course limited to the path of the river. The boats are very frequent, so there was never any rush, or time constraints while visiting the sights. The drop off points are signposted at the river bank with some including vending machines for drinks etc - no beverages are served on board. Really enjoyed the trip and will certainly use Batobus again upon our return.
