If you've got your sea legs, the capital and its surroundings are full of small cruises to discover the superb landscapes of the Île-de-France region, sailing on the Marne, the Seine and other rivers, at all prices.

Are you looking for an escape on the water to discover the landscapes of the Ile-de-France departments and the capital? For those who don't get seasick, river shuttles and other cruises are the ideal way to visit the region, at the pace of the current, slowly, to enjoy the moment and nature. In the fresh air, you can take time out from the hustle and bustle of the capital for an hour or two, or a whole day, thanks to the many romantic, gourmet, family or festive excursions on offer. Whether you're looking for a private cruise for the big bucks, or a small boat trip to suit your wallet, there's something for everyone!

Get ready to embark on an unforgettable river adventure along the Seine and the region's picturesque canals and rivers! While the Seine is a must-see in the capital to take in the beauty of the monuments and the city, day or night, the Marne, the Canal de l'Ourcq or the Oise are incredible little corners of greenery and biodiversity to discover, and an opportunity to learn more about the heritage of the Ile-de-France region. Rustic locks, inhabited riverbanks, majestic bridges, change your point of view and leave terra firma behind!
