Paris: 2-Hour Citroën 2CV Sightseeing Tour & Pickup

Two Hours in a Convertible 2CV: Paris from the Soft Seats of a Legend

You ride in a private Citroën 2CV convertible for two hours, passing the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Montmartre and the Latin Quarter with a knowledgeable driver in the iconic French uniform. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and you choose your departure time: morning, afternoon or evening. No entry fees, no crowds, just the car and the city.

The experience

The Citroën 2CV pulls up to your hotel, and the driver steps out in the cream-colored Saint James smock. The uniform that tells you this is not a standard tour van. You settle into the soft, narrow seats of one of France's most recognizable cars, and the city starts moving past you at a pace that lets you actually see it. A two-hour private tour of Paris in this convertible means the Eiffel Tower isn't just a monument you pass. It's something you approach slowly enough to notice the light changing on the iron, the crowds shifting below. The driver knows the neighborhoods (Montmartre, the Latin Quarter, the 8th Arrondissement), and shares stories about them as you move, not in the rushed way of a bus tour but in the rhythm of someone who has driven these streets a hundred times and still finds them worth talking about.

You'll see the Arc de Triomphe, Musée d'Orsay, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and the Panthéon, each one arriving in sequence without the pressure of getting out and standing in line. The car itself is part of the experience. It's narrow, it's open to the air when the roof is down, and it moves through Paris like it belongs there, which it does. If it's cold, they bring blankets. If it's hot, the convertible top goes down and you get the city without glass between you and it. The tour runs two hours, and you can choose morning, afternoon, or evening departure times, which means you can time it around your other plans or catch the light you prefer.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, so you don't navigate to a meeting point or figure out how to get back. If you've booked for one person, you're welcome to bring someone with you on the day at no extra charge: the car seats two comfortably. Infants and small children can come along, and specialized seats are available if you need one. Just mention it when you book. The whole thing is private, which means it's your pace, your questions, your route through the city.
