If you've ever been out and about in Paris, you're bound to have seen a Citroën 2CV cruising around the city, with delighted tourists on board. While it's a great way to discover Paris's most mythical landmarks, it's also an opportunity for Parisians and the French to take a different look at the magnificent monuments that dot the city!
So climb into this small, vintage and emblematic car for a few hours in the shoes of a tourist, to see the capital in a new light!
At Parisi Tour, whose offices are right next to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica, in the heart of Montmartre, we offer you authenticity, with a small fleet of"Deudeuche", perfectly maintained and recognizable by their bright colors! We love their names, linked to personalities who left their mark on the City of Light, such as Edith, or the modern wink of an eye, Emily.
We met Marie-Jeanne and her apple green car, which was super comfortable, contrary to what you'd expect from such a car, and Nicolas, our friendly guide and driver for the day, who was ready to tell us all sorts of anecdotes about the capital!
We start from the Butte, but you can be picked up from your hotel or even restaurant! Then it's a leisurely drive back down to theArc de Triomphe, a huge, impressive traffic circle to be taken aboard our old but sturdy car, with its convertible top, which gives us a great view of the monument!
Of course, it's best to count on good weather, so you can keep your hair in the wind and feel like a Parisian from the last century! You can stop regularly to take photos with your favorite monuments, and your guide will adapt to what you want to discover, for a 100% personalized experience! Louvre, Invalides, Grand Palais, Champs-Elysées, our tour allows us to admire all these famous sites in greater detail and expand our general knowledge.
After all, Nicolas and his colleagues are as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city's heritage as they are about its people - and they drive carefully, we assure you! While the Parisi Tour we took is the most common, starting at €118 per car (whether you're on your own or up to three people), you can choose from a whole host ofunique experiences, which can change on request, for a wedding proposal, an anniversary or just for fun!
Champagne and macaroons are added for the 2-hour tour of the capital's luxury, a visit to the Musée de Montmartre and wine and cheese tasting if you choose the guided tour of the Montmartre village, and even day trips to Giverny, Normandy or the Loire Valley. For an even more original outing in the heart of French culture, day or night!
Special mention should be made of this year's Olympic Games tour, where visitors can try their hand at pétanque and apéro, real sports for the French. Even for connoisseurs of the city, it's an extraordinary ride that leaves an incredible impression, and a welcome change from the metro, bus and bateaux-mouches!
