In the Headlines…
Renewal of the Bateaux Parisiens fleet
has been in progress for more than three years, with dynamics based on
innovation
and
sustainable development
.
In September 2010, Le Cristal II highlighted a unique concept of theatre
-like ‘stalls’ with elegant modern design.
The design - like a theatre with scene lighting - contributes to the renewal of the meal cruise experience on the Seine.
The Diamant II was launched by Nathalie Baye in October 2011
, and reflects the chic and glamour of Paris.
The «saloons» along the windows are like cocoons.
Broad multifaceted windows and the transparent roofing provide 360°
panoramic views.
2013 and the launching of the Pierre Bellon, an extremely innovative trimaran, marked the birth of a new concept of
sightseeing cruises
. Changes in the ways in which clients behave and a desire to provide free movement on board were used
to define the architectural basis of the boat. Laid out around a central aisle, the 6 «saloons» are very attractive in terms of
design and comfort. Four staircases lead to the upper deck with its panoramic view of the whole of Paris.
The Pierre Bellon,
the first boat of a series of four, meets client expectations with regard to the cruise experience and environment.
The Catherine Deneuve and The Jeanne Moreau have been renovated
on the same model and brought back onto water
respectively since July 2014 and March 2015.
Last autumn was also strongly marked by the return of Le Bretagne. After a year devoted to the complete
restoration of the vessel, the start of the Parisian river boat heritage is now sailing in the heart of the city again.
