What makes Seine River Evening Aperitive Cruise with Music and Drink Options a unique experience ?
The Eiffel Tower has been built by French engineer Gustave Eiffel, for the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris. This magnificent technical feat was achieved in a mere two years, two months and five days. It stands 324 metres tall, and the metal structure weighs 7,300 tonnes. Parisians were scandalised by its metallic look and height. It was built to last 20 years. A radio antenna was added to the top in 1903, saving the tower from demolition. It has now become the monument symbolic of Paris.
The new Russian Orthodox church is known as the Holy Trinity Cathedral. The centre houses a bilingual Franco-Russian school, a parish house, and a cultural centre.
The American Church in Paris with its green clock-tower is the first american church built outside of the US, in 1931. The stained-glass windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany have been listed as a historic monument.

Pont Alexandre III was built for the 1900 Universal Exhibition and to seal the Franco-Russian Alliance. Its central feature is the Paris coat of arms covered in gold leaf and two nymphs symbolising the river Seine.

The Pont Neuf, or New Bridge is actually the oldest bridge in Paris. It was the first Parisian bridge to be built in stone with pavements rather than houses lining it.
It features 381 grimacing stone masks, all individually decorated and unique.
Pont Saint-Michel has been built at the request of Napoleon III, hence the two imperial Ns on its pillars. To the right, it leads to the Latin Quarter, so called because students at the University of Paris there spoke Latin until the 19th century.
