(Last Update: 04.06.2025) There are many options for a dinner cruise on the Seine River, but I would like to tell you about Le Calife, which is my favorite among the dinner cruise boats and which I tried for the first time at a very special celebration dinner evening in March 2017. Le Calife (lö kalif) is one of the old barges known as péniche (peniş) in French, which used to carry cargo on the Seine River.
