The experience

The Citroën 2CV is built for Paris: small enough to navigate the tight streets of Le Marais and Montmartre where larger vehicles can't go, and distinctive enough that you'll feel the city differently from inside one. Your guide, who speaks English, Spanish or French, drives and narrates the route, so you sit back and watch the neighborhoods unfold. The tour runs 2 hours and covers five distinct areas: Montmartre with its artists' square and the Basilica of the Sacred Heart; the cobblestone charm of Le Marais; the bohemian Latin Quarter in the 5th arrondissement; the 6th arrondissement around Saint-Germain and its Romanesque church; and stops at the Panthéon and Luxembourg Gardens.

Montmartre alone justifies the ride. The guide takes you to the Abbesses and Saint Pierre de Montmartre, then you get out to walk and take in the view. Le Marais trades the tourist crowds for quirky shops and historical sites tucked into narrow streets. The Latin Quarter, where Romans once built Lutetia, still carries that student-district energy. Saint-Sulpice Church is an architectural landmark worth seeing from the inside, and the Panthéon (built to glorify the monarchy, transformed by revolution into a temple of great men) sits at the heart of the 5th. Luxembourg Gardens offers a moment to step out of the car and breathe.

Pickup is arranged as part of the booking, so you don't organize transport to the meeting point. If you want champagne during the ride, add it when you check out. The route can shift if traffic, weather or events demand it, and not every stop is guaranteed, though the neighborhoods and major sites are the core of the itinerary.

Is this one for you?Book this tour if you want to see Paris's quieter, older streets and historic neighborhoods without the crowds of a larger bus. The 2CV's size is what opens those narrow routes. If you prefer staying seated and moving quickly between major sights, a standard tour bus covers more ground in the same time.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What neighborhoods does the 2CV tour actually drive through?

The tour covers Montmartre, Le Marais, the 5th arrondissement (Latin Quarter), and the 6th arrondissement (Saint-Germain), with stops at the Panthéon, Saint-Sulpice Church, the Arènes de Lutèce, and Luxembourg Gardens.

Can I get out of the car and walk around, or do I stay inside the whole time?

You get out to walk in Montmartre and explore the streets on foot, and you have time to visit the inside of Saint-Sulpice Church and enjoy the lively streets of Saint-Germain. The car is the transport between neighborhoods, not the only way you see them.

How long is the tour and what's included in the price?

The tour is 2 hours and includes the guide, the car, and pickup. Champagne can be added as an optional extra at checkout. Food and drinks beyond champagne are not included.

Is this tour accessible if I use a wheelchair or have mobility concerns?

The car itself is wheelchair accessible and all the areas you visit have wheelchair-accessible surfaces. However, the tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health, and getting in and out of a classic car may feel different than a standard vehicle.

What happens if the weather is bad or traffic is heavy?

The itinerary can change due to traffic, weather, events or other circumstances, and visiting every mentioned location cannot be guaranteed. Your guide will adapt the route to make the best use of your 2 hours.
