Paris Night Tours?
We are considering a Night Tour to see the city “in lights”. Which tour company is recommended? Also, is a boat tour, bus tour or another option better to see the famous attractions at night?

We much prefer the boat to see the sites - we use this company http://www.vedettesdupontneuf.com/ you can print off a coupon for discounts. If you find out when sunset is and go on the half hour you can time it to see the Eiffel Tower twinkle.

It won't be dark until 10PM. I have been on a night tour--I don't really think it is worth it. I like the river trip.

Definitely the river cruise. Use the Vedettes du Pont Neuf as jamikins suggests. Leave just before dusk and watch the lights of Paris come on as you cruise.

Boat cruise OR Fat Tire Paris by Night Tour..

Bus tour would be my last choice , my very last..

Cruise on Canal St Martin is best done in daytime.. you don't see or enjoy many lighted monuments or the lovely bridges that you see on the Seine Tour..

While on the Vedettes website, I noticed a link to "Canauxrama". Has anyone gone on a canal ride from Bastille to Villette Park? What are your thoughts?
