Eiffel Tower: A dinner cruise along the Seine would not be finished without possibly the most celebrated building in the city of Paris. Built in 1889 as an entrance to the World Fair, the Eiffel Tower is still one of Paris most renowned attractions. 324 meter tall and well lit it is a view to behold from the Seine river.
The Trocadero: Across the river from the Eiffeltower, you will see the Trocadero. Upon the square the well-lit features of the Palais de Chaillot stand. It was built in 1937, when it replaced an previous palace that was build in 1878. From the Seine you find that the Palais de Chaillot consists of two separate wings both enclosig museums, with a lit corridor in the middle.
The Louvre: Another gorgeous building you will see from the Seine dinner cruise, is the Louvre museum. Situated on the west of the Seine, this is another spectacular view. Before it was converted into a museum, the building was used a palace for several French royalty, most famously the Sun King, Louis XIV. These days it houses different celebrities like the Mona Lisa and the Victory of Samothrace.
The Notre Dame Cathedral: On the east-side you will find the Gothic structure of the Notre Dame Cathedral. Victor Hugo chose this magnificent church as the setting for the disastrous love-story of Esmeralda and Quasimodo. One of the oldest buildings in the city, it was constructed in 1160s but not completed until 1345. During your cruise on the Seine, take in the majesty of the 69meter high towers and the typically pointy Gothic archs, portals and windows.
All these architectural pleasures will provide the perfect romantic environment for a dinner cruise on the Seine. So gentlemen get your suit out, ladies put those heels on, and romance each other in Paris, the city of love.
