Why a Private Seine River Cruise Is the Best Way to See JR’s Pont Neuf Cave
Every year, millions of visitors come to Paris to discover world-famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, and the historic Pont Neuf. In June 2026, JR’s Pont Neuf Cave adds a remarkable new attraction to this list.
While most visitors will discover the installation from the bridge or from the riverbanks, a private Seine River cruise offers a completely different perspective.
Aboard a My Paris River boat, guests can:
- Sail directly beneath the Pont Neuf installation
- Enjoy unobstructed views away from the crowds
- Capture unique photographs from the water
- Combine contemporary art with a sightseeing cruise of Paris
- Experience one of the most exclusive activities available in Paris during June 2026
For photographers, art lovers, families, and couples looking for unusual things to do in Paris, viewing the installation from the Seine creates memories that simply cannot be replicated from land.
