The Batobus is a great alternative to the busy road and rail networks of Paris.

It is a boat shuttle that operates from February to December and stops at eight locations along the river Seine. The Batobus goes past some of Paris's most popular sight seeing attractions. The whole trip can take up to 30 minutes, and you can hope off and on along the way. One ticket purchase is valid for one journey, including four stops, or you can purchase day passes, or two and five day passes. The Batobus runs every 15 to 30 minutes and starts at 10am.
