I love taking the public transport and cycling when I travel.
I had the chance to take the boat on the Seine when I was in Paris. The Batobus (translated as boat-bus) was probably more for tourists than for local though.
On the Batobus
Since passengers sat in the boat under a glass cover, I felt like I was in an oven. Most of the passengers looked grumpy from the heat.
I didn’t get the chance to catch the sunset on the boat because the sun was setting around 9pm in Summer but I’ve seen photos of the lovely purple-orange sky.
Should you take the Batobus?
If you have time and a student card, the Batobus packages are quite worthwhile.
The boat is also good for shuttling you from each important site to another. Highly recommended.

YQtravelling 
In 2007, I took a very short ride from Louvre to Champs-Elysees just before sunset, and the view was gLorious. No regret at aLL.
I don’t remember sitting under the gLass cover, though, as I remember cLearLy the wind was bLowing wiLdLy and my hair didn’t Look good in any photos..
Beautiful photos… How I miss Paris….
