Itinerary
Le Louvre is the world's largest art museum and a historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine
It is the starting point of the rue de la Paix. Its regular architecture and pedimented screens canted across the corners give the rectangular place Vendôme the aspect of an octagon. The original Vendôme Column at the centre of the square was erected by Napoleon I to commemorate the Battle of Austerlitz. Stopping for pictures
The Palais-Royal, originally called the Palais-Cardinal, is a former royal palace located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris. The screened entrance court faces the Place du Palais-Royal, opposite the Louvre. In 1830 the larger inner courtyard of the palace, the Cour d'Honneur, was enclosed to the north by what was probably the most famous of Paris's covered arcades, the Galerie d'Orléans. Demolished in the 1930s, its flanking rows of columns still stand between the Cour d'Honneur and the popular Palais-Royal Gardens.
The Galerie Vivienne is one of the covered passages of Paris. Located between the Palais-Royal, the Paris Bourse (stock exchange) and the Grands Boulevards, the passage enjoyed considerable success until the end of the Second Empire.
Live an incredible experience and stop in front of the famous Palais Garnier which is a 1,979-seat opera house, which was built from 1861 to 1875 for the Paris Opera. It was called the Salle des Capucines, because of its location on the Boulevard des Capucines, but soon became known as the Palais Garnier, in recognition of its opulence and its architect, Charles Garnier. Stop for the Picture.
Originally introduced as a seductive dance by the courtesans who operated from the site, the can-can dance revue evolved into a form of entertainment of its own and led to the introduction of cabarets across Europe. Stopping for pictures
Fédéric Baron first asked his brother, and later his foreign neighbours, to write words of love in their languages, then collected 'I love you' in this way in over 300 languages and dialects of the world
The street Orchamps leads up the Rue Lepic, across from the Moulin de la Galette. Tourists do not venture there. An oasis of calm in the middle of the city. From the house, we see all of Paris. On the sky cut the wings of the Moulin Rouge
The Basilica is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Paris, France. A popular landmark and the second most visited monument in Paris. Going for a walk inside the church to enjoy the architecture and taking pictures
Driving through the village of Montmartre, enjoying the most romantic district of Paris.
The Triumphal Arch is one of the most famous monuments in Paris, standing at the western end of the Champs-Élysées at the center of Place Charles de Gaulle, formerly named Place de l'Étoile. The Arc de Triomphe honours those who fought and died for France in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, with the names of all French victories and generals inscribed on its inner and outer surfaces. Beneath its vault lies the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from World War I.
Most iconic monuments of Paris, explanation of the architecture, and history. Stopping for pictures, enjoying a walk around with the view.
Les Invalides, formally the Hôtel national des Invalides, or also as Hôtel des Invalides, is a complex of buildings in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, France, containing museums and monuments, all relating to the military history of France

A sidecar tour gifted for our wedding anniversary. Being from the Paris region, I had some doubts about the interest, to be honest. But we really enjoyed the moment. It was very nice and Franck's anecdotes and explanations were great. We recommend it even for Parisians. See Paris differently. In the middle of August, great!
We loved it so much and we enjoyed the trip with Francois! He is very kind and friendly! I recommend the experience to everyone for sure!
We were able to see the important sights and also see a requested area, I appreciated that flexibility and how knowledgeable our guide was.
Gio did a great job showing us the Paris highlights. He was very friendly and had lots of good stories. It was a great way to see the city.
Paris Magic We booked the private motorcycle/sidecar tour as a surprise part of the trip to celebrate a birthday. The tour did NOT disappoint! We did a late afternoon on a Sunday, riding up through Montmartre, seeing the sights, picking up little tourist tidbits along the way, venturing as close as we could to the Eiffel Tower, and dropping off nearby. It was fun, bringing giggles, and just a very different way to see the magic of Paris.
Lots of fun! Guides made sure we were all comfortable and enjoyed ourselves. They gave us lots of good historical info about the sites along the tour.
My husband and I are in our 70s and thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was such a fun way of ending our wonderful trip to Paris. Wish we had done it at the start of our holiday though, it would have helped us to get our bearings quicker. Our guide, Alan, was brilliant.
We had the best time! This was a great way to see Paris especially during the heat wave and they came prepared to handle the heat with extra water, water spray which was so nice and helpful! Already recommended to my friends
We loved our tour, a very unique and fun thing to do as a family (mom, dad, 6 year old and 4 year old). We learned about the city, took a lot of fun pictures and the children loved the side car. This was our first thing we did a few hours after landing and it was a great way to see highlights of the city we will be staying in, and easier to fight jetleg with the fresh air. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and very accommodating.
The two drivers were personable, very informative, adjusted the route to where we wanted to go. The experience, for us, was unique! The tour was from a different perspective. The possibility of rain meant we didn’t stop for the champagne photo stop - but we did miss the rain and they gave us the bottle at the end of the trip. Our drivers were Allen (spelling?), and Luca. We felt very safe with them.
