Le Marais Walking Tour and Seine River Dinner Cruise with Private Transfer
Discover the heart of historic Paris on foot, then glide along the Seine over a candlelit dinner.
This six-hour experience combines a guided walk through Le Marais district Paris with a 2.5-hour dinner cruise along the Seine River, all connected by private air-conditioned transfers from your hotel.
