I didn’t know you could do this on the Seine #paris #batobus #travel

Did you know you can use the Seine like a hop-on hop-off bus? In this short video we show the Batobus in Paris, a Paris water taxi that lets you ride the river and get off at major landmarks along the way. If you want a relaxing way to see the city and get around at the same time, this one is for you.

How the Batobus works

Instead of a guided cruise with a fixed start and end, the Batobus runs like a shuttle along the river. You can stay on board to enjoy the views, or step off to visit a sight and catch a later boat to carry on.

• See Paris from the water, from a perspective you do not get on foot or by metro.
• Stop near major landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre.
• Explore at your own pace, getting on and off as you like.

Why we like it

It is one of the most relaxing ways to see Paris, and it works as both a sightseeing cruise and a way to move between attractions. It is a great choice if your feet need a break after a long day of walking.
