Paris Highlights by Vintage 2CV — 1.5-Hour Private Daytime Tour
Since 2010, I've been showing Paris to people from all over the world, one private tour at a time, in a sky-blue 1985 Citroën 2CV.
Before we set off, we spend two minutes together with a map: I show you where we are, what's reachable, and we build the route around you. Your hotel, your pace, your curiosity. No two tours are ever the same!
Think of it less as a tour, more as one and a half hours in Paris with a friend who genuinely loves this city and loves showing it to people.

Important message from the supplier
As my tours take place in a classic car, availability is influenced not only by my schedule but also by Paris traffic conditions, which can significantly affect the quality of the experience.
To provide guests with the best possible tour, I strongly recommend the following time slots:
Every evening from 8:00 PM until midnight for the magical "Paris by Night" experience.
Weekend mornings, especially Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, when the streets are quieter and Paris feels almost like an open-air museum.
Daytime tours during the week remain possible upon request, but I generally advise visitors that traffic can sometimes reduce the comfort and enjoyment of a driving tour.
My priority is always to offer the best experience rather than simply the widest availability.
Cancellation Policy
- Free cancellation - 8 days prior to meeting time
- 50% Refund - 3 to 7 days prior to meeting time
- No Refund - Within 2 day(s) prior to meeting time
