If you’ve already seen and experienced a lot of Paris, this boat tour is an interesting alternative, especially if you start it with a stroll through Buttes-Chaumont Park. The tour guide on the boat was very enthusiastic and informative, though the sound quality could perhaps be better. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side, so we had to move inside, especially during the most scenic stretch of the Seine.

Our experience with Headout was smooth and well organized. We visited Level 2 of the Science and Industry Museum, including the planetarium, which lasts about 45 minutes and starts exactly on time with a pre-booked time slot. We were there with two children aged 12 and 6, and both were fully engaged. There was so much to see that we could easily spend the whole day there. Highly recommended for families.

We loved this combination because after having stayed more than5 hours into the city of science it was really nice to be outside breathing fresh air and being on the Seine admiring all these architectural beauties.

  • Save money and time with this combo ticket offering access to 2 of Paris’ must-visit attractions: the sightseeing cruise on Canal Saint-Martin and the river Seine as well as the Science & City Museum.

    Sightseeing cruise on Canal Saint-Martin

    Your Seine and Canal St Martin cruise experience begins with a tranquil sail on the Saint Martin canal. As the boat gently rides the serene waters, you'll pass under romantic footbridges and through the mysterious underground vault of the Bastille. The journey transitions between fascinating locks of the canal, each opening to a new captivating sight, leading you to the picturesque Bassin de la Villette, Paris's largest artificial lake. The cruise culminates on the Seine River, where Paris's iconic landmarks like Notre Dame unfold before your eyes.

    Science & City Museum

    Your ticket lets you explore the immersive exhibits at the museum, along with the scientific mediations, and the shows at the planetarium. Learn the mysteries of the cosmos through immersive experiences — imagine soaring through the sky with majestic birds or diving deep within the human body! History buffs are in for a treat as the museum houses the awe-inspiring Argonaute, a real-life submarine from the 1950s, and the world’s first solar aircraft simulator – the Solar Impulse.
