One of the major competitors of the Bateaux-Mouches excursion boats on the SeineRiver|Seine River} is the http://www.bateauxparisiens.com|Bateaux Parisiens}. he embarcation point for these boats, shown in this photo, is on the east side of the pont d’Iéna, the bridge that crosses the Seine in front of the Eiffel ower. I’m not sure of the exact ranking of the different boat companies, but his one seems to be running a close second behind the Bateaux-Mouches. The boats re almost as fancy, albeit a bit smaller. I’ve never taken a ride on one of the ateaux Parisiens, so I an’t speak from firsthand experience.
n the distance on the river is the Nomadic, the tender of the ship Titanic t Cherbourg. I have a close-up*, if you are interested. The ship is on display in Belfast today.
his was taken late in the afternoon, so shadows are a bit long. I’ll try to do etter in the future.
