1. Which of these 2 lines is best

2. Of the offerings of each do you really have to go to the top offering? For example, is the lowest cost option ok or do you recommend going a service level or 2 above? To Excellence or Premier depending on which line?

3. Do all the boats leave from the same general area or could we find something near hotel?

4. Based on being there end of May with sunset at 9:30, do we take the later 8:30 or is the 6:30 ok too.

Do Le Calife instead. https://calife.com/en/

+1 for Tesa's reply.

The food on the big boats is pre-cooked and re-heated on board. Le Calife actually cooks the food and serves it straightaway, and it gets very good reviews.

Bateaux parisiens.

Saint Germain.

It is less insulting to us when you get the names right.

I've done both lines, they are just different, neither is "best' By my terms but I did not have dinner.. No, the boats don't leave from the same area, their websites should tell you where they leave from (BM is pone de l'Alma, Bateaux Parisiens is sort of across from it on the Left Bank near the Eiffel Tower , they have cruises from near Notre Dame but not for dinner). No, you won't find something closer to your hotel than those.

Seating is affected by the price for Bateaux Parisiens, you can see the map. Also, the 8:30 cruise is slightly longer. I'd pick a seat there you had one of those window seats, they look very nice. But that's up to you.

Bateaux Mouches price has different menus, they should be posted. Also the most expensive one, they expect you to dress up. BTW "snacké" for the octopus is a trendy word that means seared essentially, I think.they translate that as "just snacked" into English, which is funny.

If you like setting suns and dusk, do the 8:30 one, I think I would.

Agree, Le Calife (67€ & up) is better then the other two (about 100€ each). Even better would be Ducasse sur Seine (160+) or Don Juan II (240)

My apologies. I did not mean to offend anyone.

Le Calife does look better than the others. Seems you can choose the Salon, Terrace, or Verando. I have trouble with stairs so wondering which may be best for us?

If I remember correctly, there are fewer stairs (if any?) on the Veranda or Terrace, which both are better than the Salon down below deck. Better views from up top!

Yes you want to be up top but ask about steps...just in case. It is small and very nice.
