A romantic getaway on the River Seine aboard the SAX Boat

Paris is brimming with places to say ‘I love you’, but few offer a setting as unique as a private cruise along the Seine, just for the two of you. Far from the tourist riverboats, the SAX Boat offers a different take on Parisian romance: intimate, quiet, and entirely designed to make a moment for two truly special.

Why is a private cruise the best idea for a romantic getaway in Paris?

Paris may well be known as the city of love, but finding a truly intimate moment in the heart of the capital can sometimes be a challenge: crowded restaurants, busy bridges at sunset, queues for the most famous viewpoints. A private cruise changes all that. On board the SAX Boat, there are no groups of tourists all snapping photos of the same view at the same time: just you, the Seine and Paris unfolding as a backdrop.

It is this exclusivity that sets a private cruise apart from a standard boat trip: the pace, the itinerary and the atmosphere are tailored to you, not the other way round.

The Lovers Tour, our cruise designed for couples

Among the SAX Boat’s options, the Lovers Tour is the one designed specifically for moments for two.

An intimate cruise, just for you

The boat accommodates only you and, if you wish, your loved ones, up to a maximum of 8 passengers. No other bookings will share the boat: the Lovers Tour is enjoyed in complete privacy, free from prying eyes or timetable constraints imposed by a third party.

A bespoke experience, from champagne to music

A glass of champagne in hand, a few refined canapés, and a playlist curated especially for the occasion: every detail of the Lovers Tour can be tailored to the atmosphere you’re after. It’s also the perfect opportunity to slip a surprise into the programme, without anything giving away the planning that’s gone into it beforehand.

A breathtaking view of the Eiffel Tower, as you cruise along the river

Few backdrops can rival this one: the Eiffel Tower slowly drawing nearer, the quays gliding by, the light shifting as you cross the river. This view, almost impossible to enjoy from dry land without the crowds, is what gives the Lovers Tour its unique character.

Discover the Lovers Tour and book your cruise

Extend your getaway at the Hôtel SAX Paris

A romantic cruise, however memorable it may be, always ends with a return to the quay. Why not make the getaway last a little longer? At the SAX Paris Hotel, your getaway can continue with a night in one of our rooms or suites, an intimate dinner for two in one of our restaurants, or a relaxing moment together at the Spa & Fitness centre. It’s the perfect way to turn a simple cruise into a truly romantic getaway, from early afternoon right through to the following morning.

Fancy extending the evening? Book your room

Our tips for a perfect romantic getaway in Paris

  • Book in advance: late-afternoon and sunset slots, which are particularly popular, sell out quickly.
  • Let the concierge know if you’re planning a surprise: for a marriage proposal or a secret anniversary, mention it when you book so that nothing is revealed too soon.
  • Choose the late afternoon for the best light: the sunset over the Seine offers the most photogenic setting for a romantic moment.
  • Think about what to wear: smart but comfortable clothing, suitable for an outdoor outing, is recommended to make the most of the cruise.
  • Check the weather forecast: as with any outing on the water, it’s best to check the forecast and have a backup plan in case of rain.

Everything you need to know to plan your special moment for two

How do I organise a marriage proposal on the SAX Boat?

Simply let our concierge team know when you make your booking. Subtle décor, champagne served at just the right moment, a photographer on hand: every detail can be arranged in advance to ensure the surprise remains intact right up until the crucial moment.

When is the best time for a romantic cruise on the Seine?

Late afternoon and sunset offer the most romantic atmosphere, with golden light on the quays and the Eiffel Tower beginning to sparkle as night falls. A morning cruise may, however, appeal to couples seeking peace and privacy, away from the crowds.

Can we arrange for a photographer to capture the moment?

Yes, a private photographer can be arranged on request to capture the cruise or a specific moment, such as a marriage proposal, without interrupting the moment itself.

How far in advance should we book for a special occasion?

For a special occasion (Valentine’s Day, a birthday, a marriage proposal), it is recommended that you book several weeks in advance, particularly to secure a slot at sunset and to allow time to organise the personalised details of the experience.

Is it possible to dine on board, or do we need to book a restaurant separately?

A private lunch or dinner can be arranged directly on board the SAX Boat on request. It is also possible to book a table at one of the restaurants at the SAX Paris Hotel to extend the evening after the cruise.

Summer in Paris : The best experiences to enjoy around the 7th Arrondissement

When summer arrives in Paris, the city slows to a gentler pace, inviting visitors to make the most of every moment outdoors.

In the 7th arrondissement, summer has a unique charm in the 7th arrondissement., elegant and luminous, almost intimate.

Between the Eiffel Tower, Les Invalides, the Champ-de-Mars, the banks of the Seine, and the hidden gems of the Left Bank, the neighborhood offers the perfect setting to experience Paris in a whole new way. From the Hôtel SAX Paris, it takes just a few steps to turn a summer day into a memorable Parisian escape.

To Start the Day with a View of the Eiffel Tower: the Champ-de-Mars

When talking about summer in the 7th arrondissement, you have to start with the Champ-de-Mars, since it’s there, at the foot of the Iron Lady, that Paris reveals one of its most iconic sights.

In the morning, when the light is still soft and the paths are quieter, it's the perfect place for a stroll, a coffee in the neighborhood, or simply a moment to admire the Eiffel Tower.

Before the crowds arrive, the capital is still far removed from the hustle and bustle of busy tourist days.

From the Hôtel SAX Paris, located in the 7th arrondissement, the Champ-de-Mars is one of those iconic spots that’s easy to reach to enjoy Paris from the very first hours of the day.

Museums in the 7th Arrondissement : A Cool Break

When the sun starts shining more brightly, the neighborhood’s museums offer the perfect respite.

The Rodin Museum, with its sculpture garden, invites you on a poetic stroll through art, greenery, and architecture.

Les Invalides, meanwhile, immerses visitors in French history, in a monumental setting that impresses as much with its beauty as with its rich heritage.

Just a few minutes away, the Quai Branly–Jacques Chirac Museum offers a fascinating journey through the arts and civilizations of the world.

Summer in Paris is also about knowing how to alternate between outdoor strolls and cultural havens, so you can enjoy the capital without ever feeling overwhelmed by its pace.

The Banks of the Seine : A Golden End to the Day

For those who love to see Paris in its most beautiful light, the banks of the Seine are a an essential stop.

From the Left Bank, the areas around the Alma Bridge and the Alexandre III Bridge, as well as the views toward the Eiffel Tower, offer a postcard-perfect setting.

As the heat subsides at the end of the day, the Seine becomes one of the capital’s most beautiful thoroughfares, with boats gliding across the water, Haussmann façades bathed in golden reflections, and strollers lingering on the bridges.

A hidden garden for a peaceful escape

Parisian summer is best savored in places you discover almost by surprise.

At the Hôtel SAX Paris, the garden reveals an intimate terrace, designed as a green oasis in the heart of the capital.

Guests come here to enjoy lunch in the sunshine, share a drink, or simply enjoy a quieter moment, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. With its elegant and cozy atmosphere, this space offers the rare sensation of leaving Paris while remaining in the heart of the 7th arrondissement.

An ideal spot for those seeking a more relaxed, intimate, and almost timeless experience.

From above, Paris becomes even more spectacular

Some of Paris's most unforgettable views are best enjoyed from above.

Rooftops, high-up terraces, views over the rooftops… summer makes you want to see the capital in a different light, especially as the sun begins to set.

At the Hôtel SAX Paris, the experience continues on the rooftop and at Kinugawa Rive Gauche.

Here, contemporary Japanese cuisine is paired with sweeping views across the rooftops of Paris.

At sunset, Paris reveals all its magic here.
