There are a number of restaurants nestled on the decks of boats that allow you to enjoy a dinner cruise through Paris.
Many offer reservations for groups of 12 or more, such as Le Capitaine Fracasse or Les Bateaux Mouches.
A great idea to enjoy an evening with friends in an atypical and friendly setting.
