Excellent choice. We sailed past a very long line if people waiting in the rain to buy tickets for that day. It was well worth the money and effort to purchase the reserved ticket of entry.

We really enjoyed this night cruise. Relaxing way to see Paris by night. We ended up sitting downstairs and opening the window. As was busy upstairs. Good value for money.
