This year, NetworkIrlande and The France Ireland Chamber of Commerce are delighted to invite guests to attend the Ireland France Business Awards aboard le Paquebot, the largest in the Yachts de Paris fleet. The event will take place on Thursday November 14th.

The evening will begin at 6.30pm with the Awards Ceremony and networking cocktail, after which time guests will enjoy views of Paris by Night on a two and a half hour dinner cruise along the Seine.

The Ireland France Business Awards 2024 will award prizes in three categories. These are for Best Irish Company in France sponsored by Primark; Best French Company in Ireland sponsored by IDA Ireland, and Best Franco-Irish Newcomer sponsored by Stripe. 
Following the awards ceremony, guests shall embark onto le Paquebot, the largest barge in the Yachts de Paris fleet and privileged to have carried the French Olympic Team on the occasion of the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics on July 26th! 
Guests will enjoy the Gala Dinner as we cruise the length of the Seine, passing by the Eiffel Tower and all of Paris’ stunning buildings and monuments for the true Paris by Night experience. It will be the occasion to see the magnificent Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral from the water, restored to its former glory after five and a half years of extensive renovation and reconstruction. The cathedral will reopen its doors three weeks’ later.
The evening will conclude at 11pm as the Paquebot docks back at Port de Javel haut.
