History
Paris, a cultural epicenter since its Roman origins as Lutetia, has long embraced culinary arts, with the Seine River serving as a scenic backdrop for dining experiences since the 19th century. The river, central to Paris’s growth as a trade hub, has hosted boats offering gourmet meals since the Belle Époque, blending the city’s romantic ambiance with global cuisines. Italian cuisine, introduced to France through Catherine de Medici in the 16th century, influenced dishes like pastas and desserts, shaping Parisian gastronomy.
The Théo boat, docked near the historic 16th arrondissement, continues this tradition with Trattoria en Seine, offering an Italian dining experience on the Seine, a river that has carried Paris’s cultural and culinary legacy past landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre-Dame for centuries. This cruise merges Italy’s culinary heritage with Paris’s timeless charm, creating a unique floating dining experience.
