(Last Update: 09.01.2026) Taking a boat ride on the Seine River is as enjoyable as walking the streets of Paris. Therefore, the subject of this article will be Bateaux Parisiens, one of the most well-known Seine River cruise boats. Bateaux Parisiens is actually read as "bato parizyan", or more accurately "bato pağizyan" in French, but everyone except the French says "bato parizyen" :) Founded in 1956, Bateaux Parisiens was founded in Seine
(Last Update: 06.01.2026) 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.
(Last Update: 09.01.2026) Bateaux Mouches, one of the companies that organize trips on the Seine River in Paris, like Bateaux Parisiens, was founded in 1949 and organizes tours with or without meals on the Seine River. You take a tour between the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower on a passenger boat, just like a Bosphorus cruise boat. When you think of boats on the Bosphorus, don't think of loud music, thank God.
