This is an excellent way to see the attractions from the Seine river. Relaxing. You can get off at any one off about 6 pickup/drop off points. In December , the weather is very cold on the river, but the boat is covered.

Great way to see Paris and save your legs. jumped on and off all day. At most stops there was a display so you could see when next boat was. you do have to work to find the dtops in some places but a quick look at google maps and you find them easy.
Alison – United Kingdom

EXCELLENT customer service. I didn’t loose my tickets although I did not make the scheduled time I had selected. It’s an excellent plan to have and see the entire city. I recommend and wound use again
