    Itinerary

    Meet your driver and hop into your Citroen 2CV motorcar. Then, sit back as your driver takes the wheel and relax in comfort as you cruise past Paris’ top attractions during the most festive season of the year.

    During your journey, listen as your guide shares stories and details on the history and heritage of the Citroen 2CV. Manufactured from 1948 to replace farmers’ carts, the 2CV more than proved its worth and went on to become one of France’s most popular road vehicles. The look has developed as the years have gone by, but the originals remain popular classics, and few other models hold as much appeal.

    Cruise through the streets in your vintage motorcar and admire famous sites illuminated for the holidays, such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées and of course the iconic Eiffel Tower. Hear entertaining tales from Paris’ history and learn about the 1900 World’s Fair when Petit Palais and Grand Palais were built. Spin along the Seine River’s UNESCO World Heritage–listed banks and admire the Jean Nouvel-designed Quai Branly Museum.

    At the end of your 2CV driving tour, hop out of your motorcar back on Avenue des Champs-Élysées in central Paris.

    Please note: 2CVs are smaller than modern cars, so, for your comfort, there’s a maximum of three passengers and one driver per car. Larger groups can book this private tour, with each group of three passengers riding in convoy in a different vehicle.

    Tour guide was fun and informative. A great way to get your first glimpse of Paris. He was accommodating and took our picture. It was hard to hear him speak if in the back seat due to open air convertible tour radios with headsets would be helpful.

    This is a great way to see the heart of the city. Our Guide Rene-Jean was excellent and made the really were entertaining and interesting. I recommend this to anyone who is looking to something a little different than your standard bus tours.

    Fun way to see Paris! Dov, our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable of Paris history as well as the 2CV cars. He was also helpful in recommending some places to eat. Be prepared for the weather... during early April, it was cloudy with a chance of rain, so at times it was pretty cold during the drive. Since the car has an open rooftop, it was sometimes difficult hearing what our driver was saying, would be helpful if they'd have lapel mics or just speak louder. Again, a really fun and awesome experience... great way to see Paris!

    Vi var 6 gubbar som bokat 2 Citroen 2 CV med guider jag blev uppringd dan innan där man kollade om att allt stämde och att vi fått info om var vi skulle träffas . Bilarna med guider dök upp i tid och vi hade en fantastisk trevlig tur på Champselyse kan bara rekommendera denna trip. 6 goa gubbar från Götet.

    Ernst H, Jun 2014
    Die Besichtigungsfahrt hat uns allen sehr viel Spass gemacht. Da wir früher selbst auch eine Ente gefahren sind, war dies für uns quasi ein Nostalgie-Trip in und durch Paris. Großen Anteil am Spassfaktor hatte der Fahrer, der uns aufmerksam, engagiert und mit großer Freude durch die Stadt geführt hat. Insgesamt - und mit diesem Fahrer - ganz besonders empfehlenswert und ein dankeschön in Richtung Paris
