A mobile ticket displayed on your phone is accepted at the boarding gate — no printing needed.
How much does it cost for children, and do they need a seat?
Children under 4 travel free of charge, though no seat is reserved for them. For older children, select one of the family deal ticket options.

The standard sightseeing cruise has no dress code. However, the lunch and dinner cruises require formal attire — sportswear, flip-flops, bermuda shorts and baseball caps are not permitted.
What time do the boats depart?
Departure times can vary depending on passenger numbers and river water levels. Check the official Bateaux Mouches website for the current daily schedule before you travel.
Where exactly do I board?
Boarding is at Pont de l'Alma, Port de la Conférence, 75008 Paris — on the Right Bank, close to the Alma–Marceau Métro stop.
