The romance of Paris on the Seine: Completely conquer the Bateaux-Mouches cruise
You've probably heard of Bateaux Mouches at least once while preparing for your trip to Paris. Honestly, I wasn't a fan of boats or cruises. I used to wonder, "Do I really need to go on a cruise?" But after actually taking one, I realized there was a reason it was a must-do.
Why should I ride Batomushu?
The Bateaux-Mouches cruise along the Seine lasts approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, offering panoramic views of Paris' major attractions, including the Eiffel Tower, the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, and Notre Dame Cathedral. The diverse designs of the bridges that crisscross the river are also a delight.
Sunset or dusk is especially recommended. Watching the Eiffel Tower light show from aboard a cruise is a special memory you can only experience in Paris. If the weather is nice, sit outside and enjoy the breeze along the Seine River. It's truly romantic.
Batomushu VS BatoParisJiang
Many people think that cruise ship = Bato Mouche, but in fact Bato Mouche is a company name. The name comes from 'Bateau (Bateau) = ship' + 'Mouche (Mouche) = place name'. There is also a similar cruise ship called BatoParisGien.
Both cruises have similar courses but different departure points.

The seating arrangements are also slightly different. Bato Mushu faces straight ahead, so you'll need to turn your head slightly to see the scenery to either side. BatoParisJiang faces left and right, so it may offer a more comfortable view. I personally found Bato Mushu more comfortable, but you can choose according to your preference.
Dining cruises are not recommended
Some cruises offer meals, but honestly, the value for money isn't that great. I highly recommend spending that money on a delicious restaurant in Paris.
