About this tour
Roll through Paris in a lovingly restored Citroën 2CV, that rattling icon of French street culture. Your local driver-guide collects you from your hotel and steers you past the obvious postcard stops—the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame—but lingers instead in the neighbourhoods where Parisians actually live. Curated French music drifts through the open windows as you potter along Seine embankments, stumble upon village squares, and hear stories only someone born here would know. Three hours, three-hour ride, utterly unhurried.

What to expect
You'll begin where you're staying—your guide collects you and you settle into cramped but charming bench seats. The 2CV putters slowly enough that you can actually see what's happening on the pavement. Your driver weaves between major sights and quieter corners, adjusting the route based on traffic and their reading of your interests. Expect the occasional jam and weather changes; Paris doesn't pause for tours. The music playing matches where you are—jazz in the Left Bank, accordions near Montmartre—but this isn't a curated performance; it's just how the city sounds to someone who lives here.
Good to know
Traffic and events can shift what you see—the driver won't force a detour to tick boxes. Bring layers; the 2CV has a canvas roof and minimal insulation. Prams, infant seats, and wheelchairs are catered for. Confirm your pickup address when booking. Best booked on quieter weekdays.
