A narration of French history by the Seine River

Learn about the art and architecture of Paris as you immerse yourself in the beauty of the picturesque surroundings of the Seine River. Begin the tour with your guide at the Pont Neuf by the Henri IV statue. Emotions of awe and admiration will swell you up at the breathtaking view of the water reflecting the lights, the architectural genius of the bridge that you stand upon, and the secrets of Île de la Cité revealed as you walk across this bridge.

Follow your guide to the southern bank of the Seine until you reach the Pont des Arts, a photogenic delight! Scattered clouds on the horizon that reveal the Eiffel Tower in the near distance make for iconic shots of this 19th-century bridge.

Self-exploration of the Orsay Museum

For the lovers of French history, treat yourself to the Rive Gauche and the Rive Droite stories as you walk along the Pont du Carrousel and Pont Royal. Marvel at the beauty of the iconic Louvre Pyramid on the northern bank. Enter the Orsay Museum situated on the Left Bank of the Seine. Explore on your own the collection of paintings, sculptures, furniture, and photography inside this former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux-Arts railway station built between 1898 and 1900.

This is considered one of the best galleries in Paris and contains masterpieces such as Dance at le Moulin de la Galette by Renoir, Apples, and Oranges by Cézanne, Van Gogh's self-portraits, and many other unique pieces you’ll have the opportunity to admire.
