Embark on a free Seine cruise on your birthday
Whether you live here or are just visiting, celebrating your birthday in Paris is always a fabulous idea. The city certainly has no shortage of unique activities. More often than not, though, they come with a hefty price tag. If you’re looking to treat yourself to something nice without spending a lot of money, you’ll be happy to know that you can get a free guided boat tour on your birthday.
No reservation needed
To make use of this offer, just go to the Les Vedettes de Paris ticket office, which is right by the Eiffel Tower, any time before 5:45 pm on your birthday and show a valid ID or passport, and you’ll get a free ticket. If your birthday is on February 29, you can get the offer on March 1 during non-leap years.
A guided tour of Paris’ landmarks
Hop on board and enjoy your complimentary Seine River cruise. Take in the views from the open-air deck of a comfortably sized boat as it takes you from the Eiffel Tower to the end of Île Saint-Louis. You’ll pass landmarks such as the Grand Palais, the Louvre, Notre Dame, and the Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned at the end of her life.
A guide will narrate the tour in English and French. There is also an app with free audio guides in multiple languages, including German and Spanish. There are regular departures all day, but check the schedule online beforehand to avoid waiting times. Just a heads-up: Only the birthday girl or boy gets the free Seine cruise. Anyone else has to pay the full price.
