Paris & Montmartre 2CV Night Tour with Champagne Pickup

Summary

Paris lights up from a 2CV as laughter and city sounds fill Montmartre

You’ll ride through Paris by night in a vintage 2CV with a local guide—Champagne in hand—pausing for photos at Montmartre and watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle. Expect real stories, unscripted moments, and views that stay with you long after you’re home.

What’s the experience like?

We were already giggling when our driver—Olivier, who wore this faded scarf like he’d just stepped out of a black-and-white film—pulled up in the little Citroën 2CV outside our hotel. He waved us in with a “Bonsoir!” and off we went, the roof rolled back so the city air hit our faces. I swear you can smell fresh bread even at night in Paris. The headlights bounced off old stone as we wound through the 8th arrondissement, and I kept losing track of which famous building was which—Olivier just grinned and pointed out stories behind every corner. Sometimes he’d slow down for us to snap photos (I still laugh at my attempt to get all of Sacré Coeur in one shot; not happening from that angle).

Montmartre felt almost secret after dark. There’s something about seeing those narrow streets empty except for a couple of locals sharing cigarettes under yellow streetlamps. We popped open the Champagne right there, glasses clinking against the dashboard while Olivier told us how his grandfather used to drive this same model car around Paris. The fizz made me bold enough to try out my rusty French—he didn’t judge my accent, but did laugh when I tried to say “Basilique du Sacré-Coeur” (I butchered it). At the top, looking out over all those lights, it’s quiet in a way you don’t expect from Paris. That view sticks with you.

We timed it just right for the Eiffel Tower’s light show—honestly, I thought it might be cheesy but standing there on the curb with cold air and warm Champagne buzz, it felt kind of perfect. Olivier let us linger as long as we wanted; no rush at all. The whole Paris & Montmartre 2CV tour by night is sort of dreamy but never too polished—it’s just you, some laughter, city smells, and someone who knows these streets by heart.
