This included a four-course meal, a bottle of wine, and a glass of champagne, as well as live entertainment. If we\u2019d chosen the Excellence Menu for 40 euros more apiece, we would have had window seats and fancier food; instead we were in the middle of the interior dining room, with a great view of the piano and violin duet playing standards. The boat was surrounded by windows, though, and a short trip to the outdoor upper level afforded excellent views. Next time, I believe I will splurge on the window seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"789\" src=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss-1024x789.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss-1024x789.png 1024w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss-768x592.png 768w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss-1536x1184.png 1536w, https:\/\/messysuitcase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Bateau-mouche-kiss.png 1591w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thinking of popping the question?
