6-Hour Paris City Tour: Montmartre, Galeries Lafayette and Seine River Cruise
Discover the French capital's most iconic neighbourhoods, grand boulevards, and waterways in a single private journey.
This Paris city tour with Montmartre, Galeries Lafayette, and Seine River Cruise brings together three of the French capital's most celebrated experiences into one seamless six-hour itinerary. A private chauffeur-driven vehicle connects each stop, so you move through the city comfortably and without the stress of navigating public transport between attractions. The tour is graded easy, making it suitable for a wide range of travellers.
Montmartre rewards visitors with cobbled lanes, a working vineyard, and sweeping rooftop views over the city from the steps of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica. The walking portion of the neighbourhood visit takes you past the Moulin Rouge, the Wall of Love, the pink house known as La Maison Rose, and the historic Lapin Agile cabaret before arriving at the Place du Tertre, where artists still paint in the open air.
Galeries Lafayette offers a completely different kind of Paris experience. The building's Art Nouveau glass dome and ornate ironwork balconies are attractions in their own right, and the store brings together upscale fashion, gourmet food, and a lively retail environment that has drawn both Parisians and international visitors for generations.
The journey concludes on the water. A one-hour cruise aboard Bateaux Parisiens departs from the foot of the Eiffel Tower and glides past the Assemblee Nationale, the Invalides, the Musee d'Orsay, the Institut de France, and Notre-Dame de Paris. Commentary is available in 14 languages via the onboard system, and the Eiffel Tower itself is within walking distance of the boarding point if you wish to extend your day independently.

Itinerary
The tour begins at Metro Station Blanche, a short walk from the Moulin Rouge. Your guide leads you up through a lively market street lined with shops, cafes, and boulangeries before reaching the Wall of Love. You continue past the house and statue of singer Dalida, La Maison Rose, the neighbourhood vineyard, and the Lapin Agile cabaret.
The walking tour ends at the Place du Tertre, a historic square where portrait and landscape artists set up their easels year-round. From there you reach the Sacre-Coeur Basilica, which offers one of the finest elevated views over the entire city. You can return downhill on foot or by funicular rail using a standard metro ticket.
Your private vehicle transfers you to the Boulevard Haussmann flagship store of Galeries Lafayette. Free time here allows you to browse the fashion floors, visit the gourmet food hall, and look up at the iconic stained-glass dome from the central atrium. The building itself is considered one of Paris's finest examples of early twentieth-century commercial architecture.
The chauffeur drives you to the Champ de Mars area, where you have time to photograph the Eiffel Tower before the cruise departure. Those wishing to ascend the tower may choose to do so independently after the river cruise, as the boarding point is located nearby at the foot of the tower.
Your e-ticket for Bateaux Parisiens is provided before the tour begins. The one-hour cruise departs from the Eiffel Tower pier and follows the Seine past major landmarks including the Assemblee Nationale, Invalides, Musee d'Orsay, Institut de France, and Notre-Dame de Paris. Commentary is broadcast onboard in 14 languages. After the cruise, you make your own way back to your accommodation.
