Batobus River Seine Shuttle Boat

• After exchanging your printed voucher or e-voucher at the ticket office at any of the 8 stops, you can hop aboard the glass covered river boat and enjoy the sights of Paris passing by. Select your seat, choosing between upper deck or lower deck, or simply stand at the rear for the best photo opportunities as you sail past the iconic HA´tel de Ville where the Mayor of Paris holds office, past the awe-inspiring Gothic Notre Dame Cathedral, and past the boutique lined streets of chic Saint-Germain-des-Pres.
If you choose to do a whole loop first, in order to acquaint yourself with the city and take all the photos you need the journey time takes about 1.5-2hours. Otherwise, you can hop off at any of the stops, perhaps choosing to visit the Eiffel Tower first, re-boarding later in the day at the same stop or another further down the line to continue sightseeing at Notre Dame Cathedral or stopping off to visit the Musee d'Orsay before catching the shuttle boat back to your hotel at the end of a fulfilling day.
