Bateaux Parisiens: The Seine as the backdrop for your corporate events

What if your next corporate event took place on the water? At the foot of the Eiffel Tower, Port de la Bourdonnais, Bateaux Parisiens has been welcoming visitors for decades for sightseeing cruises, lunches, and dinners on the Seine. During our educational tour, we discovered a venue designed for both tourism and corporate events.

Behind public cruises lies a genuine professional offering: glass-enclosed boats available for private hire, gourmet dining, dockside spaces, and a dedicated team that orchestrates over 400 bespoke events each year. From strategic meetings to gala dinners, every format finds a setting here that is hard to match elsewhere in Paris.

Boarding at the Foot of the Eiffel Tower

It's hard to imagine a more iconic starting point. Docked at the Port de la Bourdonnais in the 7th arrondissement, Bateaux Parisiens captures the gaze of participants as they arrive, with the Iron Lady looming just above the walkways. This introduction immediately sets an exceptional atmosphere, even before boarding.

Once on board, the scenery comes to life. Musée d'Orsay, Louvre, Notre-Dame, Conciergerie, Institut de France: the most beautiful monuments of the capital glide by along the water, offering a panorama that even Parisians rediscover with delight. This vibrant setting transforms any professional highlight into a memorable experience.

Glass-enclosed boats available for private hire for your key events

The core of the offering is based on a fleet of fully glass-enclosed boats, designed to enjoy the scenery in all weather conditions. Each unit can be privatized for a corporate seminar on the Seine, a product launch, or a convention, with adaptable spaces according to the number of participants and the desired agenda.

The capacity rises to 350 people depending on the chosen configuration, whether seated at tables or in a cocktail setup. This flexibility allows for the format to be tailored to each project, from a small committee gathered for a working meeting to a large unifying gathering, all while maintaining the fluidity of a single venue.

Lunch or dinner cruise: gastronomy in motion

In both Lunch Cruises and Dinner Cruises, Bateaux Parisiens combines navigation with fine dining. The menus, prepared on board, focus on seasonal ingredients and attentive service: just the right touch to turn a business meal against the backdrop of Parisian monuments into a memorable experience for your clients or teams.

The offer operates on an all-inclusive basis, with à la carte options and exclusive spaces for groups. This turnkey gourmet catering service frees the organizer from all culinary logistics and ensures a seamless experience, from the first cocktail to dessert, while Paris unfolds behind the bay windows.

The Bistro Parisien and the Quay Spaces

The experience is not limited to sailing. At the dock, the Bistro Parisien opens its glass roof and terraces overlooking the Seine, an ideal space to extend an event or anchor it in a more stable setting. Perfect for a corporate party aboard a boat or for welcoming guests before boarding.

These spaces are equally suited for a dinner cocktail on the Seine as for a more formal reception. The ability to combine a cruise with a dockside venue offers genuine creative freedom: daytime meetings, sunset cocktails, dinner while cruising, all in the same location.

An event team and a turnkey solution

What sets this venue apart is the support provided. A team of event specialists manages each project from start to finish: selecting the boat, catering, entertainment, decoration, and navigation timing. This single point of contact greatly simplifies the organization, offering true convenience for companies and agencies.

With over 400 bespoke events orchestrated each year, the company masters the codes of B2B and knows how to handle the unexpected challenges of a dynamic venue. The result: a well-structured service, free of stress, allowing the organizer to focus on their guests rather than on logistics.
