Seine River is one of the places in Paris where you can take an amazing boat tour. Dividing Paris in two, this river is 26.72 meters above sea level.. The depth of the Seine, whose width ranges from 30 meters to 200 meters, can rise from 3.4 meters to 5.7 meters. It is poured by Le Havre.
Paris is a landmark for the River Seine. There are 37 bridges across the river, including 4 pedestrian bridges.. The first bridge over the river was built by the Romans in the 1st century AD.. The Petit Pont Bridge, located between the Ile de la Cite and Rue St Jacques, is known as the oldest bridge in Paris.. This bridge, which has been rebuilt many times, is the only bridge that has kept its name after it was built.
After the siege of Paris, the Seine River was used as the invasion route by the Vikings during the 9th century.. This subject is also mentioned in the series called Vikings.. The episode about Ragnar Lothbrok (Travis Fimmel)’s brother Rollo (Clive Standen), leaving his own family and city, staying in Paris, and later Ragnar’s attack on Paris and confronting his brother Rollo, is on the Seine river.

Note that although it is a bit crowded, you can wait for a long time like 1 hour in the summer season, in ticket queues or for the boat.. If you are planning a river cruise. It is useful to join the tours in the evening hours.. Even though we couldn’t join the evening tour because of the rain, I think the river cruise will be better in the evening.. In addition, during the day tours, the evening tour can be a good option to avoid the children running around on the boat.. Therefore, when buying a ticket, you can find out which boat is coming by asking the attendants at the ticket offices.. And if you have time, you should definitely wait for the boats with two floors.. The lower floor of these overcrowded boats is covered with dirty windows and you have to try hard to take pictures.. If you can get a place upstairs, your Seine tour will be a lot of fun.
