Bateaux Mouches Paris
What is your opinion please? Bateau Mouche with dinner or Bateau Mouche without dinner for a first visit to Paris? and then where would you go to pick up a boat when you are at the Arc de triomphe? THANK YOU

I"m sure the food is nothing special but it might be a pleasant dinner or way to pass the time if it weren't so expensive. But it is, so I wouldn't do it myself. I'd just take the cruise without dinner.
the Bateau Mouche company has a landing near pont de l'Alma. If you go there, I'm sure you will see it and everyone else going, it is just to the east of the bridge. You would just walk down the ave des Champs-Elysees, and take a right (go south) on av George V until you hit the river at place de l'Alma. They have fairly large boats, which may or may not matter to you (it didn't to me). There are several other companies who do this but they are the one closest to the Arc.

I agree that you are better off taking the river cruise and then having a nice dinner at a good bistro or restaurant afterward. We, too, prefer the Vedettes du Pont Neuf which boards from a small island next to the Pont Neuf.

I am going to stick up for the dinner. Traveling Europe as poor college students long ago my future wife and I splurged on dinner and it was one of our most memorable meals (and not just because they made me wear a brightly colored sports coat)!

My vote goes to Vedettes also. At the Pont Neuf--no dinner. Here's the web site
