That is exactly what I think! A food conductor!😂 but also, he shows a child spirit when he tries a new dish, and he likes it. That joy warms my heart! Both are amazing reviewing food! 🎉
I'm a single mom and I can't afford traveling for now. When things gets rough, I watch your videos and it cheers me up right away. Merci du plus profound de Mon Coeur. Lots of love and light.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel, reading your reply, it makes me like you more, I can feel the sincerity and encouragement you give to Riley . Continue vlogging and I am just here and the rest to watch you. And to Riley, just keep the FAITH, and everything in your life will fall in to a right place in perfect time. There’s always a rainbow, after every rain. ❤
I am a travel advisor and my favorite You Tube channels got me through the pandemic. It’s an awesome way to transport yourself to beautiful destinations when you can’t for whatever reason.
Riley I am with you. I am a avid traveler, but when I cannot travel, I watch videos that make me dream and feel I am in that destination. I hope you will have an opportunity to travel sometime soon. Do not stop asking the universe to give you that chance! 🙏🏼😘
I was too once but life smooths out and opportunities surface. I just traveled later in life and honestly think that was advantageous because I appreciated everything more. Good luck 😊
Le Calife was the best experience in Paris. I researched several highly rated dinner cruises and most of them serve food cooked before it is brought on board. Le Calife prepares it on board and like your meal, ours(party of 8) was perfect. We have a family member who has a severe food allergy. He was assured none of the food on the menu contained his allergen and was able to have a great meal. The other boats couldn’t offer me assurance. We sat on the upper deck and since it was a nice night, they removed the roof so we had a great view. I can’t sing the praises of this ship, the staff and the meal highly enough. It was our biggest splurge and one I felt was a great value.
Dear Antoine & Colleen... My wife and I just came back from a trip to Paris that by the way was absolutely WONDERFUL. We watched a few of your videos while we were planning and getting ready but I would like to mention one that definitely was the highlight of our trip and it was the video of LE CALIFE Dinner Cruise by the Siena River. We made our reservations after watching the video and I have to say that it went above and beyond of our expectations... The service was EXCELLENT; the food was GREAT (we selected the upgraded menu); the views were AMAZING; and the timing to see the Eiffel Tower illuminated and blinking at night was PERFECT; the captain slow down until this happened right in front of your eyes. It was the best Wedding Anniversary celebration EVER for us (14 years together). By the way, talking with the couple on the table next to us that night; they also selected LE CALIFE after watching your video and they were telling us that they were able to personally meet you in a restaurant around the city. We were not that lucky, but definitely lucky enough to find your UA-cam channel before our trip, watch your videos, and apply your tips and suggestions. Antoine and Colleen... Thank you so much... God bless you both!
Omg, these videos are SOOOOO bitter sweet 💔 i lived in France as an exchange student back in 1985, and ever since ive travelled to France 1-4 times per year. My last visit was 2019 and visits stopped as covid came 😢 now i take care of my elderly parents and dont know when i can travel again. Thank you having me with you on this cruise even if it kind of breaks my heart 💘
We just finished our outstanding dinner on Le Calife last evening. What a beautiful ship. The food, ambience and service were excellent. It was a rainy evening in Paris so the lights were so dreamy and romantic. One of the best sights was the lighted Eiffel Tower from the river. And how wonderful when she sparkles! This is so worth the cost. Thank you Antoine and Colleen for your outstanding recommendation and wonderful videos.
We took this dinner cruise in 2016…for my 50th. It was last minute…we didn’t plan ahead and were seated in the lower level…but it was perfect. One of my best memories of that trip. And the food was amazing. I’m so thrilled that you went as well and that it was the best. We got lucky choosing the Calif. Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary. I love your channel and content…you do them so well….it’s like I get to visit Paris anytime I want. Looking forward to returning.
11:35 Haha! I've had some fondants au chocolat in Paris that have given me the exact same reaction. I'm always amazed at how perfect the sweetness levels are. They never seem to be over sugary but just right. The French definitely do desserts WELL !!
Happy anniversary, you two really are a joy to watch, so friendly and genuine, yet I love how "low-key" you both are too, you're quietly cool, no need for clickbait, giggling, shrieking, silly gimmicks, unnecessary drama... which turn me right off many YTers, even if I otherwise enjoy their content - and as I always say, you make me excited to live in Paris :) I hope to run into you some day and give you a big hug!
I have been watching your videos for a while but I think this one is tops. I love how you both narrate and explain what you’re eating. And you are both so adorable together! Makes me want to come visit - you should setup a small boutique tour service for foodies - just a day or two then we can go on our own with your advice! Thank you so much for posting and sharing all of these.
Every Saturday morning we watch your newest UA-cam video and today I no exception. In fact, today is our 51st wedding anniversary! This dinner cruise really spoke to us and after watching it about six times we booked a reservation for our last night in Paris next fall. Can't wait...maybe we'll see you there!
Colleen est une adorable et éternelle romantique ! un grand merci pour avoir partagé avec nous ce fabuleux dîner dans le cadre d'une croisière sur la Seine. Vous faites un excellent travail .... et toujours avec le sourire.
You don’t know how much I enjoy watching you guys, you are like my relatives in Paris. First of all happy anniversary of your channel. You guys just gave me a great idea to have a romantic dinner with my husband when we go back to Paris or at least that’s the excuse to go back to Paris. Sending you guys greeting all the way from LA.
After watching the video, we booked the Le Calife dinner cruise 5 months in advance and took the cruise on May 9, 2024. We found it to be a wonderful experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting Paris. We lucked out getting placed at the table for two right in the bow, so the views during the meal were spectacular! We also followed many of Les Frenchies' recommendations for bistros and street food that were walking distance from our Airbnb on Rue de Seine in the 6th. Seriously thinking about a 3-month stay.
What a great way to celebrate year 2 of your amazing channel. I saw a lot of Antoine's taste bud conducting so I know the food was top notch! Thank you for another informative video!
Happy UA-cam anniversary!! I wonder how many hundreds (thousands) of people you have inspired in the last 2 years to get up off the couch and go to Paris?? You sure inspired me. We had a great trip last year following many of your tips and recommendations. Congratulations on growing your channel. Can’t wait till I can visit France again thanks to the 2 of you 😊
I love when Antoine 'starts to conduct the orchestra' after having a delicious bite. When I see him do this, I know that the food is really special. (Just because I pointed out his reflexive reaction, please do not tell him! Otherwise he will try to stop it.) I loved the photos of the Seine at night. You two really know how to describe the food that you are eating. Thanks for taking us out with you on your special night. Congratulations on your 2 year YT journey! Your channel is delightful! I am a big fan!
We followed your recommendation and went on Thursday evening. We managed to book early and took advantage of a 50% discount. It was a fantastic experience, the food was wonderful. 5* stars for all of it. Thanks for the recommendation x
My comment is similar to one made earlier on by another fan and that is a vacation to Paris would be a luxury right now! In the meantime, watching your videos are the the next best thing to being there and enjoying the fun and delicious food on your adventures in France. Thank you for sharing Colleen and Antoine 🥂🍾❤
My gal and I are coming to Paris this mid October for the very first time. In our 50's. We are bringing my 84 year old mom. None of us have ever been. You videos are such a blessing !! They are so helpful in our planning. This dinner cruise is exactly what we are looking for ! We subscribed. My gal and I watch a video of yours each night.
First of all - happy anniversary and thank you for bringing Paris and France to all of us, we are celebrating it with you! 🎊 And what a wonderful tour! Added to the wishlist! ☺️😅
What a stunning experience from beginning to end - thank you for agreeing to travel Paris like a tourist for an evening!! And I'm delighted to know of a reputable and high quality dinner cruise - having been part of a group that got food poisoning from what was definitely more of a "mid range" cruise you've given me hope and courage to try another one!!! Merci!!
The Saint Martin Cruise is fantastic. I did it 3 times. The ride during Spring time, departing from La Villettes, is what I liked most. It's the afternoon sunlight that makes it extra special. You even get to ride through a cave. Happy Second Anniversary! At least another 100 more years. I love your Channel ❤
We were waiting for this one--did not disappoint! The food looked amazing and when Antoine starts his 'conducting' movement, we know a dish is spectacular. Le Calife looks wonderful and we did Bateau Mouches with our teenage children many years ago. Do all tables on Calife have a seat with a back to the window? That seems a drawback, but the food looks marvelous. Paris is at her best at night. So beautiful! And again, congratulations on your 2 years on UA-cam!
Such a pleasant and informative dinner evening! The timing with the Eiffel Tower lights was perfect....and the food, wine, etc....looked amazing and less than 300 euros? Wow!
I love how you share your advice, experiences, knowledge, and adventures with your viewers in a casual, intimate way as if we are family and friends ❤️ The two of you are a pleasure to watch and make me feel like moving to Paris and meet up with you for a toast!
Congratulations on you 2 year anniversary on YT!🎉. This video makes me want to jump on a plane to Paris right now. I am planning a trip in spring 2025 and watching your videos helps me in the planning. As another poster said, you should do food tours for your YT fans that make a trip to Paris. It would be so much fun! Thank you for bringing us along. ❤
Thank you so much for all the wonderful information! My husband and I are heading to France in a little over three weeks. I’ve been searching for the perfect last hurrah for our trip, as the last night is our 37th anniversary. As soon as I saw this video, I immediately booked this dinner cruise, and I think we got the last seats available. (It was wait list only on my preferred night.) I would never have found this particular cruise without you! ❤❤❤
🌹You are my Paris, my France, my Saturday morning joy, Colleen and Antoine. So grateful I found your channel so I can take a quick trip to Paris every Saturday. 🇲🇫
Oh this looks absolutely magical, and I would never have heard of it without this channel. Top notch content, very much appreciated, thank you and happy 2nd anniversary!
This is my first time hearing about it too. I think I will do it. I can get pictures of the Eiffel Tower from the boat. I don't think I'll have time to go up in the tower if I do the boat lunch. I'm doing a daytrip from London on Eurostar. My son and I have had lunch and dinner on boats and trains and enjoyed ourselves. This looks great. He is in a wheelchair so this will work for his disability too.
Heading to Paris with my 2 daughters November 22. I’ve made note of many of the museums, restaurants and sites you’ve suggested. Our third trip to Paris; even more excited this time with your recommendations. 🇨🇦
I love watching you guys enjoy all that you do...specially Antoine directing an orchestra with his hands while eating great food! Lol! I just came from Paris 4 months ago, and all I do is think all day when I will return.
After watching this video, I booked this dinner cruise for our family for our trip to France we just returned from and it was great! They time it precisely so you see the Eiffel Tower when the light show starts. It was just lovely to see it from the water ❤
All said & done for 298€ that was a steal! I did a cruise years ago but your dinner cruise was outstanding! From the food to the service to the river what an adventure!
I took this dinner cruise with my children a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! One of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Food and views from the Seine, fantastic. Though pricey, I highly recommend it.
We celebrated our 50th anniersary with a dinner cruise on Bateaus Parisienne. We chose an upgraded experience. The food was fabulous, the wines were great, the Tour de Eiffel twinkled. most beautiful wonderful memory.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. We just did this tour last night. We decided to book after watching your video, and it was magical. We were not able to get a spot on the veranda, we sat in the lounge. Even there, it was still worthwhile. The food + the experience was definitely worth it. This is our first trip to Paris and your videos have been invaluable. Thank you both for sharing!!!
You two do everything with class. A Dinner Cruise is something that I would be interested in doing now in Paris! You both look and sound great and healthy! Loved it!!!
I loved seeing you both enjoy your dinner cruise on Le Calife. A friend and I took that cruise our first night in Paris four years ago. It was the perfect way to begin our visit to this magnificent city.
We spent 8 nights in Paris on each of 2 visits, in November of 2005 and 2006. Had dinner during each of those visits on Yachts de Paris; it was very expensive, but the views of Paris at night and the outstanding food made it an experience we remember to this day!
Oh my goodness, thank you for this recommendation!!! I’m on board the Calife as I write this and the food and experience is absolutely phenomenal! I found myself conducting the orchestra like Antoine does when the food is excellent! Thank you again! Hope to run into you while I’m here! ❤
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am going to Paris for the first time and my husband booked an evening cruise on Le Calife for my birthday. Thank you for the recommendations!
I was lucky enough to go to Paris on a business trip September of last year. And the highlight of our trip was a cruise dinner along the Seine. I'm from Asia so European trips are very expensive for most of us - but seeing the Eiffel tower light up and getting to eat good food while on a cruise beside the Eiffel Tower is a memory I will cherish all my life. Next time I visit I hope I bump into Les Frenchies! You two helped me a lot during my trip ❤ Happy Anniversary!
Has it only been two years? It feels like I’ve known you guys forever! Happy Anniversary! I didn’t go on a dinner cruise but now I wish I had…my mouth watered when Colleen took the first bite of the lamb…And the view of the Eiffel Tower magnificent !!!
I am so happy that you have made this channel for us! I am leaving with Hubby tomorrow. London first, then Paris. Everything I have watched so far is Très utile!!!
Happy 2nd Anniversary to your amazing channel!! My hubby and I watched this twice already. This boat and dinner is a done deal for us! Can’t wait to have this experience!♥️♥️♥️Thank you for sharing this!
I was so fortunate to be able to go on a dinner cruise on the Seine a few weeks ago... my first trip to Paris and it won't be my last. Absolutely one of the highlights of the trip.. that and the sparkly Eiffel Tower!
Our last night in May 2018 was spent on Le Calife and it was the perfect end to a perfect trip to Paris. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and the trip was timed perfectly with the 10:00 light show at Tour Eiffel. The price was reasonable compared to other companies, the boat was charming, and I would highly recommend it.
One should call Madame Hidalgo to tell her how much you do to promote Paris and its food. You guys deserve the city's highest award and a lot of thanks from us viewers.
At your recommendation, my wife and took this dinner cruise while in Paris for the Olympics. You were right! All the hype was accurate! What an amazing night! We ordered many of the same dishes you did and weren’t disappointed! The only small disappointment was when I ordered the grilled gambas, I received 3 medium shrimp, not what was shown in the video. Maybe they changed the dish. It was minor, though. We’ll definitely be taking this cruise again on our next visit to Paris! It was nice, too, that seats were assigned so we didn’t have to get there early and compete for seats. That being said, there are no bad seats on Le Calife!
❤Thank you so much for the videos you make! We had a trip planned to Paris but then Covid came so this is wonderful!! Thank you and God Bless❤❤We love watching your videos!!!!
Thank you so much for recommending Le Calfe! We took the lunch cruise. All I can say is WOW! Excellent everything….Now I want to do the evening version.
We love your videos. We are leaving this weekend for France and we booked a dinner cruise after watching your trip. And, we have re-watched the video several times. We keep up to date with the Les Frenchies!!! Thank you for sharing so much.
My parents and I moved from Tokyo to Paris for work in 1985 and I graduated from the American School of Paris. My dad would entertain clients from Japan on Bateaux Mouches and at times I would tag along. I was not a huge fan of Paris when I lived there so I seldom visited the city after we left. After watching your video, which just popped up on the sidebar, I noticed Paris has evolved - La Cité de la Mode and newer modern buildings? - it made me nostalgic and high time I revisit with my husband and try out Le Calife!
We booked this Cruise on the back of your video ;) for our 28th wedding anniversary, and we where not disappointed. Food was amazing and we had requested to be at the front which they did, as we had booked a few months in advance. Food was amazing and the cruise was just lovely, we had the pleasure off meeting as lovely couple from Seattle Lance and Susan great conversation, hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation ;) The boat even served our desert with sparklers to mark our wedding anniversary which was a lovely touch. Keep up the good work with your videos and thank you for this one ;) it made it the highlight of our Paris trip.
As a travel advisor I am enjoying your channel. I have not done a dinner cruise yet, but I have been researching the options for myself AND clients. I loved seeing this gorgeous vintage boat. I always recommend my client’s experience any city by boat if that’s an option. Always a fun perspective and so scenic, day or night.
Love your videos and we will definitely book this dinner cruise. We are returning to Paris next spring for our 30th. We honeymooned in Paris and were last there for our 20th. Thanks for the great content!
Happy Anniversary to the Channel and its 5 Star Guides! Thanks for taking us along on your dinner cruise. Everything from the food, to the views, to your smiling faces and waving hands in tastes of delight was encore une fois, le meilleur !
Perfect timing on the video. We are visiting in a couple of weeks and were debating on a dinner cruise. This sold us and we booked with Calife. Thank you!
I’ve walked past that boat a couple of times always thinking how beautiful it looks onboard. Thanks guys it’s now on the list, the food looks beautiful. Well done for the shot of the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower.

Want to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary in Paris, dinner cruise April 14, 15 or 17 bit not available😂
One thing I love: seeing Antoine enjoy food he tries. He always does a waive of his arms like he's conducting music lol
That is exactly what I think! A food conductor!😂 but also, he shows a child spirit when he tries a new dish, and he likes it. That joy warms my heart! Both are amazing reviewing food! 🎉
There is truly a symphony going on here!
It's like Antoine is orchestrating a culinary symphony.
I love him too! He is passionate about delicious food and he sings its praises with his hand gestures. Love it!
Every food lovers has their own way to express the joy of eating something good. I use invisible drum sticks and play smells like teen spirit intro.
I'm a single mom and I can't afford traveling for now. When things gets rough, I watch your videos and it cheers me up right away. Merci du plus profound de Mon Coeur. Lots of love and light.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel, reading your reply, it makes me like you more, I can feel the sincerity and encouragement you give to Riley . Continue vlogging and I am just here and the rest to watch you.

Omg, these videos are SOOOOO bitter sweet 💔 i lived in France as an exchange student back in 1985, and ever since ive travelled to France 1-4 times per year. My last visit was 2019 and visits stopped as covid came 😢 now i take care of my elderly parents and dont know when i can travel again. Thank you having me with you on this cruise even if it kind of breaks my heart 💘
You can cook all of this anywhere in the world.
We just finished our outstanding dinner on Le Calife last evening. What a beautiful ship. The food, ambience and service were excellent. It was a rainy evening in Paris so the lights were so dreamy and romantic. One of the best sights was the lighted Eiffel Tower from the river. And how wonderful when she sparkles! This is so worth the cost. Thank you Antoine and Colleen for your outstanding recommendation and wonderful videos.

If you ever come to Atlanta, my kitchen is open - would enjoy meeting and having a lovely dinner. Happy UA-cam Anniversary and best wishes. Tony
Every Saturday morning we watch your newest UA-cam video and today I no exception. In fact, today is our 51st wedding anniversary! This dinner cruise really spoke to us and after watching it about six times we booked a reservation for our last night in Paris next fall. Can't wait...maybe we'll see you there!
Colleen est une adorable et éternelle romantique ! un grand merci pour avoir partagé avec nous ce fabuleux dîner dans le cadre d'une croisière sur la Seine. Vous faites un excellent travail .... et toujours avec le sourire.

First of all - happy anniversary and thank you for bringing Paris and France to all of us, we are celebrating it with you! 🎊
And what a wonderful tour! Added to the wishlist! ☺️😅
We second Elena's comment +1 👍👍.

This is the video which lead to my love affair with all things Les Frenchies. Your love for each other is endearing, charming, and exquisite.

Thankfully I watch him for his content he has the best travel food guide for Paris on the entire UA-cam network
Such a pleasant and informative dinner evening! The timing with the Eiffel Tower lights was perfect....and the food, wine, etc....looked amazing and less than 300 euros? Wow!
Happy, happy 2nd anniversary to you, Les Frenchies. It has been my pleasure to travel with you.
I love how you share your advice, experiences, knowledge, and adventures with your viewers in a casual, intimate way as if we are family and friends ❤️ The two of you are a pleasure to watch and make me feel like moving to Paris and meet up with you for a toast!
Excellent video. Seeing France from the water is a different perspective that not many enjoy. We LOVE it!
Colleen I’m glad you *FINALLY* got to be taken. And the gift to be able to get the scenic tour at night - even better.
Congratulations on you 2 year anniversary on YT!🎉. This video makes me want to jump on a plane to Paris right now.

🌹You are my Paris, my France, my Saturday morning joy, Colleen and Antoine. So grateful I found your channel so I can take a quick trip to Paris every Saturday. 🇲🇫
Oh this looks absolutely magical, and I would never have heard of it without this channel. Top notch content, very much appreciated, thank you and happy 2nd anniversary!
This is my first time hearing about it too. I think I will do it. I can get pictures of the Eiffel Tower from the boat. I don't think I'll have time to go up in the tower if I do the boat lunch. I'm doing a daytrip from London on Eurostar. My son and I have had lunch and dinner on boats and trains and enjoyed ourselves. This looks great. He is in a wheelchair so this will work for his disability too.
Heading to Paris with my 2 daughters November 22. I’ve made note of many of the museums, restaurants and sites you’ve suggested. Our third trip to Paris; even more excited this time with your recommendations. 🇨🇦
I love watching you guys enjoy all that you do...specially Antoine directing an orchestra with his hands while eating great food! Lol! I just came from Paris 4 months ago, and all I do is think all day when I will return.
After watching this video, I booked this dinner cruise for our family for our trip to France we just returned from and it was great! They time it precisely so you see the Eiffel Tower when the light show starts. It was just lovely to see it from the water ❤
Thank you so much for taking us along with you.
This was a lovely video and I love how expressive Antoine is.
You go Colleen💃💃💃 great initiative🥂 we love all the commentary xx
All said & done for 298€ that was a steal! I did a cruise years ago but your dinner cruise was outstanding! From the food to the service to the river what an adventure!
I took this dinner cruise with my children a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing! One of the highlights of our trip to Paris. Food and views from the Seine, fantastic. Though pricey, I highly recommend it.
We celebrated our 50th anniersary with a dinner cruise on Bateaus Parisienne. We chose an upgraded experience. The food was fabulous, the wines were great, the Tour de Eiffel twinkled. most beautiful wonderful memory.
Just wanted to say thank you for this video. We just did this tour last night. We decided to book after watching your video, and it was magical. We were not able to get a spot on the veranda, we sat in the lounge. Even there, it was still worthwhile. The food + the experience was definitely worth it. This is our first trip to Paris and your videos have been invaluable. Thank you both for sharing!!!
Just wow! That food looked sensational and what a beautiful old boat. Well worth the money. Paris is just a phenomenal city !
This is super useful, franchement. As Parisians we never do ce genre de choses là, but this video really puts it on the to-do-soon list! Merci !
Mama and papa, happy second 👑🌟💗🇫🇷
It's so beautiful in the evening with all the lights on!
You two do everything with class. A Dinner Cruise is something that I would be interested in doing now in Paris! You both look and sound great and healthy! Loved it!!!
I loved seeing you both enjoy your dinner cruise on Le Calife. A friend and I took that cruise our first night in Paris four years ago. It was the perfect way to begin our visit to this magnificent city.
What a superb evening in Paris and happy 2nd anniversary! Love your channel!
We spent 8 nights in Paris on each of 2 visits, in November of 2005 and 2006. Had dinner during each of those visits on Yachts de Paris; it was very expensive, but the views of Paris at night and the outstanding food made it an experience we remember to this day!
Oh my goodness, thank you for this recommendation!!! I’m on board the Calife as I write this and the food and experience is absolutely phenomenal! I found myself conducting the orchestra like Antoine does when the food is excellent! Thank you again! Hope to run into you while I’m here! ❤
One of my favorite Les Frenchies video. Paris was never more beautiful. I need that meal. Now.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am going to Paris for the first time and my husband booked an evening cruise on Le Calife for my birthday. Thank you for the recommendations!
Sounds great!
Beautiful Congratulations on 2nd year of your wonderful channel. Love and Best Wishes from Scotland 🎉xx
The dinner cruise was great! The food and service was wonderful! We loved seeing the Eiffel tower all sparkly. Thanks for the recommendation!
I was lucky enough to go to Paris on a business trip September of last year. And the highlight of our trip was a cruise dinner along the Seine. I'm from Asia so European trips are very expensive for most of us - but seeing the Eiffel tower light up and getting to eat good food while on a cruise beside the Eiffel Tower is a memory I will cherish all my life.
Next time I visit I hope I bump into Les Frenchies! You two helped me a lot during my trip ❤ Happy Anniversary!
OMG! This is just perfect! My husband and I are going to Paris in April to celebrate my 79th birthday! Whoo hoo!❤️❤️
Has it only been two years? It feels like I’ve known you guys forever! Happy Anniversary! I didn’t go on a dinner cruise but now I wish I had…my mouth watered when Colleen took the first bite of the lamb…And the view of the Eiffel Tower magnificent !!!
I am so happy that you have made this channel for us! I am leaving with Hubby tomorrow. London first, then Paris. Everything I have watched so far is Très utile!!!
Happy 2nd Anniversary to your amazing channel!! My hubby and I watched this twice already. This boat and dinner is a done deal for us! Can’t wait to have this experience!♥️♥️♥️Thank you for sharing this!
An unforgetable experience everyone must try...💙💙💙
@@LesFrenchiesTravel now i am thinking of the next video... hmmm what would it be?
I was so fortunate to be able to go on a dinner cruise on the Seine a few weeks ago... my first trip to Paris and it won't be my last. Absolutely one of the highlights of the trip.. that and the sparkly Eiffel Tower!
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary 🎉👍🇦🇺. That looked amazingly delicious 😋
Our last night in May 2018 was spent on Le Calife and it was the perfect end to a perfect trip to Paris. The food, service, and ambiance was fantastic and the trip was timed perfectly with the 10:00 light show at Tour Eiffel. The price was reasonable compared to other companies, the boat was charming, and I would highly recommend it.
Congratulations on your 2nd anniversary! In all honesty, watching you and Colleen is like spending time with our favorite neighbors on a trip.
One should call Madame Hidalgo to tell her how much you do to promote Paris and its food. You guys deserve the city's highest award and a lot of thanks from us viewers.
At your recommendation, my wife and took this dinner cruise while in Paris for the Olympics. You were right! All the hype was accurate! What an amazing night! We ordered many of the same dishes you did and weren’t disappointed! The only small disappointment was when I ordered the grilled gambas, I received 3 medium shrimp, not what was shown in the video. Maybe they changed the dish. It was minor, though. We’ll definitely be taking this cruise again on our next visit to Paris! It was nice, too, that seats were assigned so we didn’t have to get there early and compete for seats. That being said, there are no bad seats on Le Calife!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We splurged on the Bateaux Parisiens dinner cruise on our last trip, and it's one of our most 🥹 memories of Paris, ever. So worth it!
Your videos are just delightful and upbeat. Mangez bien,riez souvent, aimez beaucoup (eat well,laugh often, love a lot).
❤Thank you so much for the videos you make! We had a trip planned to Paris but then Covid came so this is wonderful!! Thank you and God Bless❤❤We love watching your videos!!!!
Spectacular river views while gliding along on the Seine and outstanding food! What more could you want?! ❤
This channel and the guides we have downloaded from thatch have helped us a lot. Wish you nothing but success in the years to come
Thank you so much for recommending Le Calfe! We took the lunch cruise. All I can say is WOW! Excellent everything….Now I want to do the evening version.
The beauty of this evening cruise is magical ❤💙❤ what an elegant dinner!
We love your videos. We are leaving this weekend for France and we booked a dinner cruise after watching your trip. And, we have re-watched the video several times. We keep up to date with the Les Frenchies!!! Thank you for sharing so much.
Thank you for watching
My parents and I moved from Tokyo to Paris for work in 1985 and I graduated from the American School of Paris. My dad would entertain clients from Japan on Bateaux Mouches and at times I would tag along. I was not a huge fan of Paris when I lived there so I seldom visited the city after we left. After watching your video, which just popped up on the sidebar, I noticed Paris has evolved - La Cité de la Mode and newer modern buildings? - it made me nostalgic and high time I revisit with my husband and try out Le Calife!
The boat , the ambiance , the food and the wine 🍷, what a perfect combination to celebrate. Thank you for sharing ..Cheers 🥂
Every time I see Antoine,with that hand gesture, I already know what it means. No need to say anything. 👌
We booked this Cruise on the back of your video ;) for our 28th wedding anniversary, and we where not disappointed. Food was amazing and we had requested to be at the front which they did, as we had booked a few months in advance. Food was amazing and the cruise was just lovely, we had the pleasure off meeting as lovely couple from Seattle Lance and Susan great conversation, hope you enjoyed the rest of your vacation ;) The boat even served our desert with sparklers to mark our wedding anniversary which was a lovely touch. Keep up the good work with your videos and thank you for this one ;) it made it the highlight of our Paris trip.
We're so glad to hear that! Happy anniversary. We're heading back there again to celebrate sonethung special ♡
As a travel advisor I am enjoying your channel. I have not done a dinner cruise yet, but I have been researching the options for myself AND clients. I loved seeing this gorgeous vintage boat. I always recommend my client’s experience any city by boat if that’s an option. Always a fun perspective and so scenic, day or night.
It's nice to see the two of you really enjoying the dinner.
Love your videos and we will definitely book this dinner cruise. We are returning to Paris next spring for our 30th. We honeymooned in Paris and were last there for our 20th. Thanks for the great content!
Happy Anniversary to the Channel and its 5 Star Guides! Thanks for taking us along on your dinner cruise. Everything from the food, to the views, to your smiling faces and waving hands in tastes of delight was encore une fois, le meilleur !
Perfect timing on the video. We are visiting in a couple of weeks and were debating on a dinner cruise. This sold us and we booked with Calife. Thank you!
Without a doubt, your best blog! Food looked amazing and so good to see you both thoroughly enjoying yourselves! Bravo.
You bloody legends! Congrats on 2 years of your brilliant channel. 🎉
what an amazing boat trip! The meals you guys ate already make my mouth -watering and the views were really stunning. Thank you for taking us along !
So great to know! I'll be celebrating my Bday at Le Calife in 4 weeks! 🍾🥂💕
We did this based on your rec this past September and it was fantastic. Merci!
I’ve walked past that boat a couple of times always thinking how beautiful it looks onboard.
Thanks guys it’s now on the list, the food looks beautiful.
Well done for the shot of the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower.
And yet again a superb video -- this is absolutely on the top of the Paris "to do" visit! Thanks so much! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!
So many choices for food in paris, it is now on our must visit list.
