Has anyone taken the new Paris "Vogueo" boats?
There is a new public transportation boat service on the Seine called the Vogueo which started in June.
This is the website, http://www.vogueo.fr but I can't get it to open.
I saw a segment on TV which said people could use their metro tickets on it, but also read on one website that rides cost 3 euro and on another that they cost 5 euro.
I've searched here, but found no posts about it. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet.

Well, thanks. I wasn't really clear on where it went or what one would see, so that's why I asked. I thought it might make an interesting boat ride to see something "different" than the usual tourist stuff.

What type of feedback are you looking for? I doubt you will find anyone who has taken it here. It isn't exactly a tourist thing to do, plus it just opened. Like Kerouac said, when I'm back in Paris I don't have reason Maisons-Alfort. It's a pilot program for a more environmental friendly method of transportation. Now if they expand this pilot program further in the future it may be worth revisiting.

Interesting. I knew I knew the name Fragonard associated with perfume - and I suddenly remembered, maybe it's at one of the museums, maybe not,,thr's a place in France that has many of the old parfums unavailable today - or they will mix up a batch for you.
Anyone know of this place or remember the name ?
