Tips & Advice

- Arrive 30 minutes before departure, as guests are asked to, so boarding at Port de la Conférence goes smoothly.
- Take the metro to Alma-Marceau, the station closest to the boarding point at the foot of the Pont de l'Alma.
- If you're driving, use the La Tour Maubourg Orsay car park on Quai d'Orsay, which is across the river from the boarding point.
- Groups of more than 10 should send a request through the group form instead of booking individual seats.
