About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected at 8 a.m. and driven through Paris in an open sidecar, stopping to photograph Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and other grandes dames of the city. Between each stop, you'll hop out to wander the streets at your own rhythm—no rushing. Mid-morning brings fresh pastries and coffee at Place du Tertre. After Montmartre, it's sidecar again towards Versailles. At the palace, you'll explore the main halls, stroll the Queen's Hamlet, and take in the gardens. Around midday, your guide serves homemade pancakes and Norman cider for lunch. You'll return to central Paris by early evening, toasting the day with a glass of champagne.
Good to know
Dress in layers; sidecars are open to the elements. Waterproof ponchos are provided but bring a scarf if you're sensitive to wind. The pace is relaxed with no rigid schedule—if you want longer at any spot, say so. Public transport is nearby if you need a break from the sidecar.
