Brunch on the Seine: heritage and gourmet flavors

Although brunch (a combination of breakfast and lunch) first appeared in the French capital in the 1980s, it has been particularly popular with Parisians in recent years. With a variety of formats (all-you-can-eat buffet, all-inclusive package, children's prices), themed menus, extended opening hours, and more, this meal now appeals to families and foreign visitors alike, especially when it is offered in a very Instagrammable establishment.

And, on this point, there is nothing better than brunch on a barge, with photos of generously filled plates (foodporn atmosphere) alternating with unique shots of the many heritage gems of the City of Light. 

Speaking of light, the pleasure of eating while watching the sun's reflections on the Seine, with the gentle lapping of the water providing a backdrop to conversations, is yet another illustration of Parisian chic.

as the architectural treasures of the capital parade along its historic waterway, this brunch cruise accentuates the change of scenery with flavors that take your taste buds on a journey, and of course, the essential Parisian pastries (accompanied by a hot drink and fresh fruit juice) are not forgotten on the quay.

Please note: another barge operated by this Seine cruise company offers 100% Italian cuisine for lunch and dinner during the week. It's a chance to admire Notre Dame, the Musée d'Orsay, the Louvre, and the Grand Palais between bites of homemade pizzetta, linguine Bolognese, and tiramisu. If the weather is good, the terrace at Le Théo enhances the Dolce Vita atmosphere of a sunny lunch, while in the evening, its many bay windows allow you to admire the Eiffel Tower lit up during a cozy dinner.
