Batobus?

How much is it,is it worth using and is it included in the paris visite , i have the 1-5 vone pass.

I think its about 16 euros for one day. Not included in Paris Visite. It comes by less often than metro or bus and takes a while to load / unload at each stop. Only true value is if you want a ride on the river IMHO.

|||

1 day costs €11, 2 day costs €13, 3 day costs €15. They come by every 15-30 minutes. Makes 7 stops. Yes it is worth it. Good alternative to riding Metro.

The %26#39;hop-on/hop off%26#39; BATOBUS is NOT covered by the PARIS VISITÉ transportation pass....nor is the l%26#39;OPEN TOUR %26#39;hop-on-off%26#39; tour bus (though the PV dies entitle you to a discount). There is a special %26#39;..Paris à la Carte..%26#39; combo-ticket, available that is good for BOTH Batobus and L%26#39;Open Tour.

Frankly, as an alternmative to the regular Metro and publib bus system, the BATOBUS really isn%26#39;t a practical alternative (route restricted by a requirement for water) unless it for a day cvoncentrated on simply visiting the sights along the Seine from Eiffel Tower to Notre Dame. For this sort of day, it is a novel way of getting about.
