Vedettes du Pont Neuf

Vedettes du Pont Neuf is a boat service operating from the Île de la Cité that takes visitors on guided sightseeing tours along the Seine. The fleet includes vessels with covered cabins as well as open-deck boats with unobstructed views of the monuments and bridges you pass.

The service began in the late 1950s as a family venture with a single small boat on the Seine. It grew steadily to become a recognizable operation that has served visitors for many decades.

The boats pass by places that generations of Parisians have cherished from the water. You understand how the city reveals itself from this perspective and why the river has always been central to how people experience the capital.

Boats depart throughout the day and early evening, with frequencies varying by season. It is wise to check departure times in advance and consider reserving a spot, especially during busy periods.

The boats pass under many different bridges, each from a different period and with its own architectural story to tell. You can sail beneath bridges spanning from the Napoleonic era to modern times in a single tour.
