We Tried the BATOBUS River Cruise in Paris (Water Taxi)

Join us as we discover Paris on the Hop-on Hop-off Batobus. This is a Seine river cruise alternative to the traditional Big Bus style hop-on hop-off bus tour you find in most big cities. In this video, you can experience the nine stops of the boat along the Seine and visit major attractions like the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, Palais Royal, Saint Germain, Notre Dame, and more. And we'll give you the info you need to decide if this hop-on hop-off tour is worth it, and how to buy tickets. Allez, on y va!

Let me make the first comment, and thumbs up, once again before watching it. Can it be because you are such an epic couple?

[jenniferlawrence]

The good part of wearing yourself out like that is then you get to sit in a cafe and everything tastes so much better.

[gilliantracy]

This is a really fabulous video. Thanks for taking us on the ride! Great way to see Paris!

[samandkellealbrecht]

Colleen you are my kinda person. My feet hurt, I’m tired and I will not stop!! I love it!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[jasonibiza]

What a genius way of touring the city in a different way... not your typical tour of the city but one of the best ways... thanks for showing us this ang tugging us along... i had a fun time watching... 👍🇫🇷🗼😎

[anniebowen]

You guys are amazing! Thank you for sharing the charm, joy and tons of work you put into your great vlogs - another winner!👏👏👏

[lindsayrambo]

Can you please do a series (one each week)Paris from November up until Christmas as lights and festivities show up? It would be a great reference for those traveling during the holiday season to know exactly what lights are up/festivities are happening as they open. We are traveling Nov 10-14 and hoping some lights are already on display. I watch every one of your videos and they have been so helpful. I have absolutely fallen in love with Paris!

This is the best kept secret (no longer) in Paris. Its the best way to get around when there are taxi or metro strikes (the French national pastime) and gives your tired feet a chance to relax. Great channel.

I know this is unrelated to this youtube video, but I went to Malta recently and ate at superb restaurants; I couldn't help but do Antoine's symphony of the palate in my mind. Great video btw.

[gabrielleparis]

🇲🇫❤️Merci Colleen and Antoine, drinking my Cafe au Lait and enjoying a little bit of Paris while watching your video. Thank you for bringing Paris to me, to my heart, and a big smile to both of you

[andrewrobinson]

Supercool video. All the Parisiens are here in Cap d'Agde 🇨🇵. If you ever fancy a house swap for August, let us know.
You both looked great at the end of that marathon +1 😮👍

[smiley]

Nice tan, you two :):) joke aside, aren't you heroes? Well deserved end of the day. Thanks for the great tour 👍🌞💪

[amymalina]

Great video. One person’s opinion—-wall to wall music can overwhelm the material. Good idea to take all the way down or out under any speaking but try using the music a little more sparingly. Space helps you appreciate it more when you do insert it.

[wendy]

I was waiting for this video!!
There are hardly any detailed videos about Batobus. Great job guys ☺️

[postcardsfromourgoldenyears]

I loved this! It made me homesick for my favorite city in the world. My husband and I have been to Paris many times. Never did "this" boat. Can't wait till we return in November to do it. BTW, we did dance with the "tango dancers" one night, 2 trips ago. The time we danced, they moved their location from the top of the Opera steps to Place Vendome, almost in front of the Ritz. We did a video of our "fun" experience for my channel. 😍

Bonjour Les Frenchies. This is a fun video. The water bus is a neat way to navigate both sides of the river. The weather looks great too. I’m enjoying your new introduction format.
I’ll be back in Paris on Sept 14 starting a one month tour. 6 days on Rue Rambuteau, 5 days Saint Malo and Mount Saint Michael, 5 days in Angers, 5 days in Caen with side trips to Honfleur etc, 5 days in Issy-les Moulineaux and last 7 days on rue Cardinale Lemoine before returning home. All traveling will be by TGV and other trains only one requiring a transfer. My train tickets have been
purchased using Trainline app. Reasonably priced and they give a senior discount.
Any chance we could meet up for lunch or a drink?
A bientôt…Josef.

In 1979, I took six weeks off between grad school and work to solo travel across Europe via an Eurorail pass and youth hostels. It was an amazing adventure, and one of the highlights was watching Swan Lake in the courtyard of the Louvre. 44 years later, I still get goosebumps as I remember the final scene when evil sorcerer stood next to the pyramid and flapped his gigantic “wings “. Breathtaking!

[Maronite]

Colleen, Antoine - awesome video (even with the melted makeup :- ! Love the new format. I used to work for Air France at their North American HQ and traveled frequently to Paris, on business. That left me no time to be a tourist and your videos are definitely filling in the gaps. I especially enjoyed the stop at Notre Dame with the bouquanistes. I have 2 art prints, both of which show that scene, and were purchased 60 years ago, from those bouquanistes. You make such a wonderful couple exuding a blissful 'joie de vivre'. Felicitations.

[SRX]

That was a long day. You guys are amazing. Hello from North Carolina, U.S.A. 🙂

[caromurray]

I haven’t done the Batobus but I walked around several of these areas when I visited in May, all fabulous of course.
On a side note a friend of my sister’s visited Paris last week. As she’s a bit nervous when travelling in big cities, I recommended she watch your channel for tips & tricks. She found it both helpful & reassuring, so thank you.☺️
