Le Paris is a modern privatizable boat run by Paris Seine, with room for 200 guests at a seated dinner and 230 at a cocktail. It is moored at 2 Port Debilly, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, facing the Eiffel Tower, and can be hired for company events and weddings either at the dock or on a cruise.
Seminars and company events
Paris Seine presents Le Paris for business dinners, cocktail receptions, seminars and conferences. Its professional offer covers a seminar day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the dock or on the water, with a welcome breakfast, a lunch cocktail or seated meal, a coffee break and conference equipment: video projector, screen and microphone. Cruises on the Seine last from 1 hour 30 minutes for a seminar day to 2 hours 30 minutes for an evening dinner, and boarding quays are available at several points in Paris. For a trade show evening, one client gathered around a hundred guests on this boat.
Rooms and capacities
The main deck is modular. The official site shows it arranged for a seated dinner, for a cocktail, for a conference followed by a cocktail, and as a sun deck. The interior includes a welcome area with a cloakroom, a lounge for the aperitif with armchairs and a fireplace, and a reception hall of 200 m² framed by tall glass bays. Outside, a panoramic terrace of 150 m² faces the Eiffel Tower and is used for cocktails. Stated capacities are 200 guests at a seated dinner and 230 at a cocktail.
Weddings and receptions
Paris Seine also organizes weddings on its fleet, from small boats of 2 to 45 guests to vessels that take up to 220 guests. A dedicated project manager follows the event, and the company offers wedding planning help with photographers, entertainment, florists and decoration inside and outside the boat. Evening formats can include a cruise on the Seine with a DJ and an open bar.
Catering
Catering is signed by the caterer Butard Enescot, who handles breakfasts, lunch or dinner cocktails and seated meals. Menu choices have to be planned in advance, since the service is run by a caterer. The site also lists a chosen DJ, entertainment and table plans among the services managed by the Paris Seine team.
History and setting
Paris Seine describes Le Paris as the most innovative and modern of its boats on the Seine. It belongs to Paris Experiences Group and sits in the same fleet as Le Melody Blues, Le Signac and other boats offered for private hire.
Getting there
Boarding is at Port Debilly, 2 Port Debilly, 75016 Paris, on the right bank of the Seine facing the Eiffel Tower. The site does not list a metro station, so organizers should confirm the best access with the Paris Seine team. Other boarding quays in Paris can be arranged for cruises.
