I love river cruises and going through the locks was a bonus. Very fun and also informative. The guide was excellent. Worth the price!

The Grévin Museum is a must-see—it’s so well-designed and enjoyable to visit, especially during this heat wave… The figures are displayed in context, and it’s easy to have your picture taken with them. I have a more candid reservation about the Cité des Sciences, though, because I found that the explanations of certain phenomena weren’t explained clearly enough and often relied on scientific jargon—in short, you’d need a college degree to understand, or even to try to follow along with some of the explanations…Not everything is disappointing, far from it, and thankfully some sections are even accessible to young visitors… Special mention goes to the cool water fountains installed throughout the museum, which were very much appreciated. I’ll conclude by saying that these two museums are worth visiting because of the diversity of their collections.
