As the sun sinks down in the City of Light, Paris comes to life, with its sparkling monuments, music-filled cafes and bars, and illuminated waterways. Soak up the nighttime scenery with a fun, local-led bike ride between landmarks followed by an enchanting cruise along the Seine.
Meet up with your guide at the Place Saint-Michel and get situated on a comfortable blue bike, adjusting the seat on your stylish cruiser and strapping on your helmet. Once you're set, pedal off behind your guide, making your way along the cobbled lanes of the Latin Quarter and crisscrossing centuries-old bridges in the shadow of Notre Dame.
Hear the legend of Quasimodo and Esmerelda as the sun's final rays set Notre Dame's rose window aglow, and catch the last light of day glinting off the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre. Meander along tree-lined paths to reach the foot of the Eiffel Tower, where you can refuel with a crepe or an ice cream cone if you'd like, or just snap photos of this iconic Parisian landmark as it sparkles against the dark night sky.
From there, you and your guide leave your bikes behind and step aboard a river boat for a quiet cruise along the Seine. Sit back and absorb the sights of the city center from the water, drifting beneath the gilded Pont Alexandre III and the Pont Neuf—Paris' oldest bridge—to see the hundreds of faces carved into its stone pillars. Along the way, your guide shares little-known stories, interesting facts, and local insight into the history and character of the French capital.
