SEINE, First Part

Hi, I'm Alyson, your personal guide. Together with MyWoWo, I'd like to welcome you to one of the wonders of the world.

Today I'll accompany you through the length of the Seine River, which is one of the most poetic experiences to enjoy in Paris!

Your tour starts from Pont de l'Alma, directly above the tunnel where Princess Diana and Dodi al-Fayed lost their lives in a tragic car accident. Most of the companies that organize mini-cruises with the typical Bateaux Mouches boats sail from this point, showing you the symbolic monuments of the French capital from a new perspective on the water. Famous monuments scroll past on both sides of the river in a majestic panorama: I suggest using the bridges as reference points; I'll point them out as we reach them.

As the second longest river in France after the Loire, the Seine has always been the fulcrum of Paris: some of the city's most important historical buildings have been built along its banks....
