Product launches and press events in Paris

An unforgettable setting to make an impression at your launches and brand events

For a product launch in Paris that leaves a lasting impression, the setting matters as much as the product. Bateaux Seine offers exceptional venues on the Seine for private hire for your press evenings, collection launches, retail events and brand activations: from an intimate experience for 25 influencers to a press event for 200 journalists.

Why launch your product on a boat?

The product launch is a critical moment: you have one opportunity only to capture the attention of the press, influencers and your retail partners. A commonplace setting dilutes your message. A spectacular setting amplifies it.

On the Seine, you offer your guests a uniquely photogenic experience that extends your launch well beyond the moment itself through the earned media generated on social platforms.
