Smiles and waves from passersby guaranteed! As we navigate the streets, I’ll bring the city’s history to life with fascinating stories and hidden gems. From famous landmarks to secret spots, everything is tailored to you—you decide what to see and where to stop. And because Paris is more than just a drive, I’ll share my best recommendations: where to eat, where to grab a drink, which museums to visit, and the must-do experiences for an unforgettable stay.

Tour Options
Itinerary
Hôtel de Crillon and the obelisk from Louxor
"The most beautiful Avenue in the world" (according to french sources), with its luxury boutiques and famous brasseries
A tour of Paris by car is never complete without at least one (or two!) laps around the famous Place de l'Étoile. We’ll see the Flame of the Unknown Soldier and the names of Napoleon I’s victories
The Pont d'Iéna, the Avenue de Suffren, and the École Militaire, which frame the Champ de Mars and the Eiffel Tower
A pass over Paris’s most famous bridge (Alexandre III) that leads to the Grand and Petit Palais, where many films are shot
The impressive glass roof of the Grand Palais and the beauty of the portal of its smaller sibling right across the street on Avenue Winston Churchill
An example of early 19th-century neoclassical architecture, the church of high-society weddings (as in the novel "Bel Ami" by Guy de Maupassant)
The crown jewel of Haussmannian Paris, surrounded by the Galeries Lafayette, the Café de la Paix, and Avenue de l'Opéra
Perfect if you want to treat yourself to a diamond necklace; we’ll pass by the boutiques of Cartier, Tiffany's, and Chanel
The Austerlitz Column, the Ritz Hotel, and the standard meter
The street of fashion and design, but also where Molière was born in 1622!
The former residence of Cardinal Richelieu and home to the Ministry of Culture and the Council of State, with a beautiful 17th-century garden
Home to the Kings of France for many centuries before becoming that of the Mona Lisa and the glass pyramid since 1989
A former railway station built for the opening of the 1900 World’s Fair, where we’ll see Jacquemart’s Rhinoceros
Built under Louis XIV, the Palais Bourbon is another example of neoclassical architecture; it’s where the 577 French deputies meet

A dreamy ride in a dreamy convertible with JB! He was very knowledgeable, kind, and made this tour very special! Anyone that wants to see Paris in its splendor at night should take this tour! 100% recommended
Thank you, Maria, for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure sharing Paris with you that evening, and I’m so glad you enjoyed our ride, the beautiful night-time views and our photo stops together. I truly hope to see you again in Paris someday! Kind regards, Jean-Baptiste
Incredible!! This was our favorite tour!!! I highly recommend it. We went at 9:00 in the evening and it was perfect!
Thank you so much for your kind review! Night tours have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to share the magic of Paris at blue hour. I’m delighted you enjoyed it! Enjoy the rest of your stay, and I hope to see you again someday! Kind regards, Jean-Baptiste
Jean Batiste was just amazing and the car is beautiful! Such a fantastic experience! Highly recommended!
Thank you very much! It was a real pleasure to help you rediscover Paris after 30 years (!). I hope the rest of your stay was just as enjoyable as our tour together. I look forward to welcoming you back to Paris someday. Kind regards, Jean-Baptiste
The ride with Jean Baptist was very interesting and really iconic. It was mega to see Paris from a cult car. Especially the drive in Montmartre in these small streets was really cool! We totally enjoyed the ride.
Thank you for this lovely review! It was a pleasure to welcome you and your daughter aboard the 2CV. We were fortunate to enjoy beautiful summer weather and excellent traffic conditions, which certainly helped make the tour even more enjoyable. I'll look forward to seeing you again someday, perhaps you can judge how much my German has improved by then! Kind regards, Jean-Baptiste
JB is a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable. Communicative even prior to the booking. He helped us make the most of our 15 hour Paris layover. I recommend booking with JB
Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a real pleasure to spend the evening with you three and to share some of Paris's most beautiful views during the blue hour, my favourite moment of the day. I hope your journey home went smoothly after your layover, and I look forward to welcoming you back for your first real stay in Paris! Kind regards, Jean-Baptiste
This was the perfect way to start our trip to Paris! JB picked us up at our apartment and took us all around the city. I can’t recommend this car tour enough!!
Thank you for your kind review! I'm glad you chose to start your Paris adventure aboard the little 2CV. It's a great way to get your bearings, discover the main sights and pick up a few ideas for the rest of your stay. I hope you had a wonderful time in Paris, and I'd be delighted to welcome you back one day!
We really enjoyed this. JB was a fantastic host and the car was a lot of fun. We saw all the sights we wanted to and he adapted the route based on what we'd already seen. We did a lot on our trip and this was definitely one of the very best activities. I would highly recommend. We toured at night, which was a fantastic way to explore. Only wish we hadn't done it on our last night, as it gave us many more ideas on where to visit for a night out!
Thank you for this lovely review! I'm delighted that the evening tour became one of the highlights of your Paris trip. It's always a pleasure to adapt the route to what my guests have already seen and make sure we discover something new together. Perhaps next time you'll come earlier in your stay, then you'll have a few more evenings to explore all those places we passed by! Thank you again for choosing Paris by JB, and I hope to welcome you back someday.
Tour was great. Car is awesome. Recommend
Thank you very much for your review! I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour despite the rather maze-like route imposed by the Bastille Day traffic restrictions! Congratulations, you've successfully completed your first introduction to Paris traffic! Thank you again, and I hope to see you back in Paris someday. Jean-Baptiste
Súper experience! Really enjoyed it. You get to see a 100 times more then when you book a hop on hop of bus. Experienced driver, great communication.
Thank you for your kind review. It was a pleasure meeting you and your family and showing you around Paris aboard the iconic Citroën 2CV. I'm delighted that we could help you rediscover the city from a different perspective. I hope to welcome you back to Paris one day, perhaps at Christmas this time, for a completely different atmosphere! Jean-Baptiste
J.B. Did an awesome job! It was a blessing for us that he knew English. He was very knowledgeable about about Paris and its history. He took us to all the big sights. Would recommend him to everyone! Loved his CV-2 Convertible!
Thank you for your kind review, I'm glad you enjoyed discovering Paris and its history from the passenger seat of the little blue 2CV. I'm also pleased to hear that the car itself lived up to its reputation, the 2CV tends to attract almost as much attention as the landmarks! I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Paris and wish you a safe journey home. Jean-Baptiste
