Three to four companies organise this, great atmosphere! For excellent viewing of Paris city and Eiffel Tower, go up to Montparnasse56 where it gives you panoramic views in 360 degree. http://www.tourmontparnasse56.com/index.html Has anyone tried taking the Dinner-Cruise on River Seine?

(If you've watched the film Mr Beans Holiday it's where the movie starts from!) The view from the top of the modern square shaped "Defence Arc" (which can be seen from the Arc de Triumph) is as spectacular as being up the Eiffel Tower or the traditional Arc de Triumph! I never expected the modern quarter of Paris to be as exciting as the traditional olde worldy Paris where most people tend to gravitate to!

Lots of well known french artists and some monet's which I wanted to see. Has eating places and bookshop which are good. Gets very busy in holiday season. Also worth a look (I think its near the opera house) Gallerie Lafayette. You don't need to shop -just experience the layout of all the Galleries and the huge dome.
