Boat ride on the Seine - recommendations
 
We are planning to take a night cruise on the Seine in March. There are several companies offering the boat tours. Any recommendations which would be the best -- I'm concerned about comfort in the cold weather.

Comfort is generally about the same; the Vedettes de Paris line leaves from perhaps the most convenient spot.

We took the sunset cruise on this boat in February. You can go on line and download a 2 Euro coupon. It's a BYOB cruise, so bring a bottle of wine and some snacks if you would like. Do dinner afterwards.

Budman--Hey, you helped me out too, thanks! We are headed there in June and that sounds exactly like what we are looking for!

Sunset in June is around 9:45-10:00pm. I would have dinner first then take the 10:00 or 10:30 river cruise. It's definitely a BYOB. ((b))

Budman--That is exactly what I was thinking. I already printed out the little coupon, lol! I wasn't sure when sunset was as the last time we were in Paris it was early March, so thanks again:)

Just a word of caution to avoid disappointment - don't count on there being a 10:30 pm departure in March or even in June for the Vedettes du Pont Neuf. Last June 2 we got there just before 10:30 and were told that there would be no more trips that night because there were not enough people to justify it. Very disappointing for my little group. We were leaving Paris the next morning.
