Lyon City Boat, River cruise travel agency in central Lyon, France
Les Bateaux Lyonnais is a travel agency offering river cruises along the Saône and Rhône rivers with guided tours and meals served on vessels named Hermes and Hermes II. These boats move passengers past the city's landmarks and bridges along the waterways.
This travel agency started in 1984 and revived tourism in Lyon through regular river cruises. The cruises highlighted the role these two rivers played in the city's commercial past.
The company showcases regional cooking during river journeys, allowing passengers to see Lyon's UNESCO-listed architecture from the water. The meals served aboard reflect local food traditions.
The agency sits in the city center near public transportation options. It helps to book ahead if you have specific dates or meal preferences in mind.
A special cruise called Safa'rives focuses on nature watching and local plant life along the Saône. This journey shows a different side of the region away from the city itself.
