This photo, taken in 2008, features the tour boats, called Bateaux Mouches, which take visitors on the river Seine. The river, the historic artery of the city, has been connected by canals to other rivers: the Rhine, the Rhone and the Loire. Because travel via the rivers of France was of such importance historically, many of the famous landmark buildings of Paris have been built on the banks of the Seine. This is what makes a trip on a Bateau Mouche so interesting.
