4.Valentine’s Day Diner Cruise on the Seine river

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 6 reviews · 3 hours · from $271

Board a Bateaux Mouches restaurant boat near Pont de l’Alma for a three-hour Valentine’s evening on the Seine. You’ll enjoy a French four-course dinner, aperitif, half a bottle of wine per person, piano and violin music, and views of Notre Dame, the Louvre, and the Eiffel Tower from the upper deck.

“It was definitely a great dinner date for Valentine’s Day. I felt it was more romantic and intimate than having dinner at the Eiffel Tower. It had nice scenery on the river of the city and Eiffel Tower. To see the city from the boat and see all the couples around the city was an unforgettable experience. We saw proposals and just love in the air. The service was great and very tentative. The food was okay but the experience definitely made it top notch.”
