Welcome on board the Bateaux Mouches

Thank you for choosing our company to discover Paris from the Seine

The bateaux Mouches invites you to take a trip across Paris and back through the centuries

You will soon celebrate your special time; Your center point will be restored, your face will be re-designed, you will receive an elegant name

The spoken commentary will point out to you all the principal monuments

You will soon discover traces of places which have always been there inside your heart

Arrows on the tele-display units will guide you, pointing out the position of each monument mentioned in the commentary and corresponding to the panoramic views presented

You can measure your journey by the bridges you pass under. In French they're called Ponts.

You are always free to turn back.

Traces of ancient story will guide you

Arrows on the tele-display units will gradually take over

They will point out the position you choose.

This city is different. The system is different. The laws are different.

The public welcomes you with stone

It's time to point your arrows at the opposite way. Restore your balance.

First look inside, under and behind. Can you open your heart in public?

You can measure your journey by the bridges you pass under. Have you seen so many bridges before? Passing under bridges makes you smaller and smaller. Have you seen bridges destroyed?

Bridges you pass under can be burnt down. This ca be also the end of your journey.

Is your point of view completely different now? Is it more open? Can this island be your home? Can you see now your center point, the point on which you can build your new ingenious structure?

The ground remains a battle-ground. War became private. War became magnificent. War brings the public together. War is just the background.

Soon we will take your measurements. We will study your face. We can see you work against your own public. This is where your freedom begins.

Back at home you have hearts of stone and stones with hearts, hearts

Your private story became a national story. Arrows mark you still today.

You can start planning your big time; use your charm, use your arms, forget your name. Now you will have to dance the famous western dance. And still you will be free to keep one eye open to port, one open to your right and one eye in your back.

A monumental city once was called home.

National war gradually became a private battle against the national

Universal point of view is always welcome

Stones mark places you pas through

Can your arms reach the waters below you?

Soon you will forget the spoken commentary too.
