Which would you suggest for an evening tour of the Paris lights-a Seine boat tour or a night 2CV tour? Would it be repetitive to take both? Thank you for your help.

We went on a Seine River cruise and it was lovely. The city is magical at night.
We boarded at the pier at the base of the Eiffel Tower - bought our tickets from a machine
when we got there.
We had our choice of sitting inside or outside.
I am not familiar with the 2CV tour.

If you want to do a night Seine tour (and IMHO night is best for this) you can just do it when ever you feel like it and there are docks in several spots around Paris -- near Eiffel Tower, at Pont d'Alma and under Pont Neuf and perhaps other spots as well.
I love to do evening walks. Walking round the illuminated Notre Dame and along the bank is lovely (I don't walk on the lower concrete banks as drunks tend to hang under the bridges at night, but the sidewalks are filled with others walking and offer nice views of the city. Another great evening walk is to start at Concord and walk up the Champs Elysees to the Grand Palais and turn left and walk across the gorgeous bridge. The bridge is beautiful (Pont Alexandre) and there is a great view of the Eiffel Tower -- time it to the top of the hour when it sparkles. The shiny dome of Invalides is visible to the front and the Grand and Petit Palais to the rear and it is gorgeous. You can continue across and down the river towards Notre Dame or retrace your steps and walk on up towards the Arc de Triomphe.

There is a big difference in price in case you haven't noticed.
