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 Orsay 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.
Orsay Museum
Once inside, you are free to explore the museum as you like. The exhibitions are arranged chronologically, with early 19th-century sculptures and classical paintings on the ground floor, leading up to the Impressionist paintings on the second and top floors. Explore French Realist and Symbolist art and gain insights into the cultural and artistic developments of the late 19th century. Stroll through the exhibits of sculptures and decorative arts, including furniture, and other artifacts from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. One of the Orsay Museum’s best-kept secrets is its Terrasse d’Été, Summer Terrace — with lovely views of the Seine River, the Louvre, and in the distance, even Sacre Coeur perched high on its hill in Montmartre.
