Vedettes de Paris : 1h Sigthseeing Cruise with Champagne

ArrayWhy You Shouldn’t Miss This Paris is one of the major financial centers of Europe and the third highest GDP in the world. Its history goes back to 52 BC when it was conquered by the Romans and was made a garrison camp. By the 12th century, however, it was a political, cultural and religious capital of France. The Palais de la Cite, which continues to stand to this day was built in the 12th century on the Ile de la Cite island. It is home to hundreds of attractions and monuments, many of them built during the medieval and renaissance periods. A number of them are located close to the Seine and can be seen during the river cruise. These include the Notre Dame de Paris, the Les Invalides, Conciergerie, the Palais de Chaillot, and Louvre Museum. A cruise is a perfect way to experience the beauty of Paris, especially at night when all of these monuments are lit up, making for one of the most beautiful riverside views in the world. Your Experience The cruise will take you past the renowned attractions of Paris, and under numerous beautiful bridges that are present over the Seine. You will get onto the cruise ship at the base of the Eiffel Tower. An audio commentary is available in 3 different languages, allowing you to understand the history behind each of the buildings seen. You will then pass by the National Assembly building and the Musee D’Orsay. The sunlight paints the building in a beautiful golden white color, and at night, the entire structure is lit up, and the large windows give stunning views of the interiors. The cruise ship will then pass by the Academie Francaise and the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned. You will then come upon the marvellous Notre Dame de Paris. The front facade is visible, along with the towering spires that are associated with Gothic architecture. You will then see the Arab World Institute, an ultra-modern building that is a stark contrast to the historical monuments situated around it. The cruise ship will take a turn, and you will move towards the starting point. On the other side of the river, you will see the Hotel de Ville, a massive structure that houses the local administrators of Paris. The world-famous Louvre Museum will pass by on your right, but you will unable to see the glass pyramid due to the high walls covering the attraction. You will then see the Grand Palais, a well-known exhibition hall and museum complex. The last monument is the Palais de Chaillot, and the famous buildings can be seen situated a short distance away. With this, your hour-long cruise on the seine will come to an end.

Pont du Garigliano

Pont du Garigliano

The Pont du Garigliano is a bridge across the Seine in Paris. Location and constructionThe Pont du Garigliano links Boulevard Martial-Valin in the quartier de Javel (15th arrondissement), to Boulevard Exelmans in the Auteuil quartier (16th arrondissement). It is a metal bridge made of three spans (of 58m, 93m and 58m) soldered to six beams and carried on only two piles, close to the river banks. It spans roadways on both banks before reaching the ground. It is the highest bridge in Paris, at 11 metres above the level of the Seine (making it a popular place for suicides, such as that of Boris Fraenkel). It is very close to the studios of France Télévision, and to the Hôpital Européen Georges-Pompidou. HistoryFrom 1863 to 1962, the two-level stone viaduc d'Auteuil (or viaduc du Point-du-Jour) ran across the river at this point, carrying Petite Ceinture trains on its upper level and car traffic on its lower level. When car transport increased on the Boulevards des Maréchaux, and since the arches of the existing structure were too low to be passed under by river traffic, it was decided to replace it. Construction began in 1963 under the architect Davy and the engineer Thenault, and the new structure was inaugurated on 1 September 1966. The present structure is named after General Juin's victory at the Battle of Garigliano in Italy in 1944.Since the end of 2006, the art-work Le Téléphone has been installed on its downstream side, implanted in the exterior face of the pavement. It consists of a telephone cabin sculpted in the form of a flower by the architect Frank Gehry, with no function other than to receive calls from Sophie Calle, the artist who created the idea, in order to accompany the inauguration of the service on Tramway des Maréchaux, whose terminus is very close.
