Why the name Bateaux Mouches?
No relation to flies! The Bateaux Mouches are called so, because the 1st boat to have performed walks on the Seinewas called the Old Smee. The Vieux-Mouche was a boat that transported visitors from one site to another during the 1867 Universal Exhibition. This boat was then bought by the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches, when in 1949, Jean Bruel created his company to show Paris by river. Visionary because he foresees the development of mass tourism in the future, Jean Bruel wants to make the Bateaux Mouches an attraction that allows tourists to admire Paris from the Seine by day and by night
