Prime Minister Narendra Modi, French President Francois Hollande as well as French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and senior French government officials went on a boat ride along the Seine river. Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar had termed it a "nav pe charcha" - talks on the boat.

After talks between Modi and Hollande, and the inking of 17 agreements as well as announcement of India purchasing 36 Rafale fighter jets in fly away condition as soon as possible, the leaders embarked on a boat ride on the Seine.

Modi tweeted about it.

Thank you President @fhollande for the boat ride on the Seine. #France#Parishttps://t.co/ICqmTo5Wje
