Excellent
Great boattour with English and French speaking guide aboard. Brings you along several locks to or from the city. You can buy coffee/tea and drinks, hopefully next time during Christmas glühwijn...

highly recommended though we were disappointed not to reach Musee d'Orsay due to the Seine being in flood.
