Exploring Paris with Batobus Hop-on Hop-off Cruise

For our Parisian adventure, we opted for the unique Batobus, a hop-on-hop-off water taxi navigating the Seine River. This was a welcome escape from the jam-packed sightseeing cruises. We purchased a convenient one-day pass online for โ‚ฌ59, allowing us to explore at our own pace. The spacious Batobus boats offered comfortable seating, open areas for taking in the sights, and friendly staff.

An Evening at Montparnasse Tower

To get the most beautiful ariel views of Paris, skip the Eiffel Tower and head to the Montparnasse Tower! Enjoy 360-degree views of the city that includes views of the Eiffel Tower itself and significantly lesser crowd. We spent our first Parisian evening there, indulging in crepes, exploring the observation deck with its interactive exhibits, and soaking in the city's ambiance from the rooftop.
