The Arc and view were beautiful and easy to get to. There was no confusion with the tickets, and the reminder emails were helpful for staying on Track. The river cruise was beautiful and operated every 20 minutes, so I made sure to get in the cruise line right after a boat left so that I could get great seats at the top. The cruise departure area was so easy to find and in a very convenient location next to the Eiffel Tower.

I highly recommend that everyone take this tour along the Seine at least once. In exactly 1 hour, you’ll see the most beautiful sights of Paris—sights that would take 3 days to see on foot. The views are stunning—especially the view of the Eiffel Tower; simply beautiful.

If you visit Paris, you absolutely have to take this cruise on the Seine River. I had a wonderful experience—it was very well organized, and the atmosphere on the cruise was great. Seeing the Eiffel Tower lit up from the cruise was definitely special.

The cruise was wonderful—in just one hour, you get to see all of Paris’s iconic landmarks. I’d never seen the Île de la Cité like this before; it was fabulous! I highly recommend this cruise—boarding was very easy and very well organized, and so was disembarking! A superb experience that I recommend 100%.

A Wonderful Family Experience on the Seine! 🇫🇷❤️ We had an absolutely wonderful time on the 1-hour Seine River sightseeing cruise from the Eiffel Tower yesterday! 🛳️✨ It was such a beautiful experience with my family. The views of Paris from the Seine were breathtaking, especially seeing the Eiffel Tower and the city’s famous landmarks from the river. The atmosphere was relaxing, enjoyable, and perfect for making special family memories. Everything was well organized, and the whole cruise was a great way to see Paris from a different perspective. We truly enjoyed every moment and would happily recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris with family or friends. A beautiful experience, unforgettable views, and wonderful family memories! ❤️🇫🇷 Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The tour takes you to several interesting places in a single day, which is highly recommended if you only have a few days to visit. If you prefer to see more of each place at a leisurely pace, it’s better to choose a separate tour for each location on different days so you can explore them more thoroughly—they’re all very beautiful. I was left wanting more time in the town of Windsor and to explore more parts of Oxford that the tour doesn’t cover.

Explore Château de Vincennes and enjoy a 1-hour Seine River cruise from the Eiffel Tower, both with flexible access.

Getting started

Use your combo tickets to visit both Château de Vincennes and the Seine River 1-hour sightseeing cruise from the Eiffel Tower on the same day if you wish. At each venue, scan your mobile voucher at the entrance or boarding point and follow on-site signs to begin. Your flexible cruise ticket and choice of departure time let you fit the boat ride easily around your château visit.

What to expect

Château de Vincennes

A fortified royal residence turned military stronghold, Château de Vincennes combines a towering medieval keep with austere halls that once housed kings, prisoners, and Napoleon’s arsenal.

Features

Climb the 52-meter medieval keep, one of the highest in Europe, and look out toward Parisian cityscapes including the Eiffel Tower, the spires of Notre Dame Cathedral, and the curves of the Seine River.

Walk through the rooms where King Henry V died and learn about the château’s role in the Hundred Years' War and the notable prisoners once held in the medieval keep.

Explore grand halls that shifted from royal soirees to barracks and weapons storage under Napoleon, highlighting the site’s transformation from residence of Louis IX to a defensive arsenal.

Seine River 1-hour sightseeing cruise from the Eiffel Tower

Starting near the base of the Eiffel Tower at Port de la Bourdonnais, the Bateaux Parisiens Seine River cruise gives you a different angle on central Paris as you glide past riverside monuments and historic bridges.

Features

Enjoy a 1-hour Seine River cruise along a route that passes icons such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, Musée d'Orsay, Notre-Dame Cathedral, Hôtel de Ville, the Assemblée Nationale, Institut de France, Panthéon, Cité de la Mode et du Design, the Conciergerie, Pont Neuf, Pont Alexandre III, and the Grand Palais.

Listen to a multilingual audio guide in 14 languages that explains the history, architecture, and stories behind the monuments you pass, available via your smartphone and supported by onboard Wi-Fi.

Benefit from a flexible ticket and choice of departure time, with cruises departing regularly so you can board when it best fits your schedule.
