36 Hours in Paris: On the Seine
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/06/travel/what-to-do-in-paris-on-the-seine.html

“Paris owes its life to the Seine. The city was born on one of its islands — the Île de la Cité — and today the celebrated river flows under 37 bridges as its makes its eight-mile arc through the City of Light. Along the stony banks, which together are designated a Unesco World Heritage Site, every facet of the French capital looks out and beckons.

History and architecture? From the medieval towers of Notre Dame to the 19th-century iron lattices of the Eiffel Tower, the riverside offers a stunning survey, complemented by postmodern structures like the Institut du Monde Arabe. Art and design? In the shadows of the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay, a host of less-famous museums also contain world-class troves. Food and festivities? A gastronomic trail and pulsating party barges assure satisfaction for Epicureans and hedonists. Even some green spaces — the Tuileries gardens, the Jardin des Plantes — unfold amid the urban crush. And getting around is a cinch. Take the riverside 72 bus or the waterborne Batobus — or just walk. The thoroughfares along the river have been mostly closed to traffic and reborn as lively pedestrian promenades....”

The last time we were in Paris, we took a sightseeing cruise on the Seine.
That was before there were any open-air urinals. Now we have to go back.

The last time we were in Paris, the Seine was very high. We waited near Boul Mich for the batobus that never arrived and then hiked a fair piece to get the bateaux parisien which did operate to the tour eifel and back. I was with a friend who'd never visited Paris before so the Seine cruise was a must.
