Paris boat travel saving
Commuters in Paris can enjoy a special deal to travel around the capital by boat.
Anyone buying an annual Navigo pass to use the nine-stop Batobus will pay just just €40 instead of the usual €60.
The deal was announced by Valérie Pécresse, president of the Paris Ile-de-France region. She also presides over STIF, the region’s transport syndicate, whom she has asked to do a river transport feasibility study.
