Bateaux Mouches

At the beginning there was… Jean Bruel : Ship-owner and adventurer at heart. A quirky idea occupied his mind ! He would allow people to tour the capital by its prettiest avenue, the Seine. Great resistant and remarkable visionary, Jean Bruel knew that the post war years would mark a new era with a true upturn of the leisure and trip culture.

He founds the Compagnie des Bateaux-Mouches® in 1949. In 1952, he builds the first all-glass boat; a totally pioneer concept if not to say revolutionary. The ecological commitment of the Compagnie des Bateaux Mouches® is hardly new, that’s why supporting Energy Observer seemed obvious to Charlotte Bruel, CEO of the Compagnie des Bateaux Mouches®!

Since 2005-2006, management has been working on the subject of ecology even though at the time the topic wasn’t as prevalent as today. For 12 years now, the company has taken a decisive turn and demonstrates daily that its commitment is an integral part of its DNA. Charlotte Bruel selects materials that are cleaner, more noble and easier to recycle. Progressively all the installations are making room for ecological concepts. Considerable investments have been made : 500 000 euros alone for the Hydro Mouche project. The Compagnie des Bateaux Mouches® is working on an electrical fuel cell that only uses hydrogen and rejects solely water in the atmosphere.

After a “blank” year, we are resuming work to evolve towards the green fleet we are committed to in a near future. Supporting Energy Observer is an incredible opportunity to advance and find cleaner energies.
