A lovely place to relax and unwind. Having said that, if you have only a handful of days, I wouldn't recommend you to go out of your way to visit it.Full review by Augusto R

The Seine Cruise is lovely at night, As is watching the sun go down from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Perhaps after the Golf! I love the Buddha Bar! Brilliant atmosphere, delicious fusion food, great music. This is the original in Paris, now replicated in other cities. My favourite museum is Musee d’Orsay. Building is amazing; a perfect setting for the exhibits. Great view of Sacre Coeur through the Clock Tower. Enjoy.

We were very close to Jacques Bonsergent metro station in an AirBNB. Wonderful restaurants and cafés in that area. We were indeed suggested not to wander too much north, we walked a lot: east, south and west. Very convenient location.
Can one purchase canal cruise tickets in advance for only one specific day? Or can one purchase a ticket that is good for a 7 day period? Is the St. Martin canal cruise that departs near the d'Orsay a round-trip cruise - - or is it one way? The website is not clear on these topics. Thanks.....

I am sorry I did not take the canal cruise. We walked up the canal from the Bastille district.
