History of Bateaux Mouches
Jean Bruel
In 1949, avant-garde Jean Bruel invented the concept of Bateaux-Mouches. Monsieur Bruel's inspiration arose from his idea - To offer visitors a tour of Paris from the city's most beautiful Boulevard - The Seine River.
The history of the name "Bateaux-Mouches"
At the beginning of the 18th Century, the "Mouches"
were small light-weight boats that were designed for transporting
merchandise throughout the tributaries of France. These boats
were named "Mouches" because they were built at the
"Felizate" yards in the Mouche district of Lyon. The
"Mouche boats" evolved from transporting merchandise
to
transporting people. Bateaux-Mouches continued serving the public for two hundred years.
After World War II, Jean Bruel wanted to create a rare ambience
for his fellow Parisians. He thought how wonderful it must be
to visit
Paris on one of these "Fly-Boats" - while at once enjoying
Classical
He purchased one of the last remaining "Mouches" used
for the
World Fair of 1900, and transformed it into a restaurant. As a
result, he invented the touring/dining concept "La Compagnie
des Bateaux-Mouches®"
