No 2 - Batobus
A hop on and off service with unlimited journeys for a day.
Use Batobus (Boat-bus), and cruise between sites on the Seine. The panoramic boats are a great way to travel from Notre Dame, to the Louvre or Eiffel tower. I really enjoy the perspective of being on the water, but perhaps it's just my love of boats...
The boats run a circuit with 8 stops at a frequency of aprox every 15 minutes, it takes on average 11 minutes between stops.
