Seine River: Canal Saint-Martin Cruise from Parc de la Villette to Musée d'Orsay
About this experience
Complete your Paris experience with a cruise on the quaint Canal Saint-Martin, an extension of the River Seine, and a quieter alternative to the city's larger and better-known waterways. Drift idly from Parc de la Villette to the regal Musée d'Orsay, home to countless artworks and statues.
You can breeze through romantic winding canals, under scenic swing bridges, and watch locals enjoying wine on the embankment while the city slips into a slower pace from this tree-lined vantage point.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
