I wanted to share with you how great it was to party on the Seine .. even for a parisian. Parties on the Seine are not only for tourists .. not at all. It's always amazing to be inside a boat or on the roof when the weather permis, look around and discover Paris from an other angle. It also offers a very different atmosphere. We often organise or go to parties on "Peniches" whether they are @ the Eiffel Tower or Notre Dame or further east , around the new Biblioteque Francois Miterrand.
Some of them do not move away from the shore but its stills offer a very different party and some of them do move around .. I went on one for 2004 new year's eve and it was amazing to move along the Seine, looking at all Paris monuments with of course ... a glass of champagne :-)
But the best i have to say ... was my own wedding! We rented a peniche which offer a superb wooden deck : "L'Equité" , this one does not move but was posted in front of Notre Dame so the view was just enchanting. We were a party of 50 and had lunch and then hanged out on the deck for the afternoon. It was stunning.
So i strongly recommend you try to attend to one of these parties when you get to Paris - Private parties or not you will enjoy them !
