We walked over to the river and down to the dock with the tour boats near the Pont Neuf Bridge. We got on a tour almost right away and then we were off cruising down the Seine as the sun was shining. The tour overall was very pleasant although it was a little difficult to understand the French tour guide and there were some slightly obnoxious Brit teenagers near us.
First we went a little east on the river than turned around and headed back west toward the Eifel Tower. Along the way we saw many spectacular buildings including Notre Dame once again. We also had a great view of the Louvre Museum as we cruised past it. I was surprised at how many houseboats there were along the river.We also realized while on the boat how close the Museum d'Orsay was to the boat dock that we would be returning to and decided that we should get over there and see it too after lunch. It certainly was on Becky's list of art museums.
