The Seine has always been the heart of Paris. We like to stroll along its quays all year round, and admire it glistening in the setting sun. Some bars have a breathtaking view of the Seine. Here are the best bars close to the quays of the Seine for a drink.
La Démesure sur Seine, a great bar on the quays of the Seine
This gigantic 900 m² terrace offers a breathtaking view of the Seine. Located between the Pont Charles de Gaulle and the Gare d’Austerlitz, it’s a great place to meet up for a drink and discover live artists. The terrace is super bucolic and sparkles with a thousand lights as night falls. The perfect place for a date.

NixNox, the most elegant
Just a few steps from the Simone de Beauvoir footbridge, the pretty Nix Nox barge awaits you for a lovely evening on the quays of the Seine.
