Open bus tour in Paris
   A perfect occasion to discover various monuments of Paris with a panoramic view of the various charms of the "City of Lights"
You will be able to roam through the city in an open bus to enjoy the more famous monuments of our city. Come and admire Paris just by "turning your heads" and take pictures from the bus.
A historical city
On the tour, you will see among others the Louvre Museum, once a medieval castle, the palace of French Kings, the courtyard of Napoleon and the Glass Pyramid built by Pei and inaugurated in 1989.
A cultural city
Paris has always been at the center of cultural activities, with its numerous museums, its concert halls, its theaters and operas.
The architecture is also state of art: the best examples are Opera Garnier and Opera Bastille. The architecture of the Opera Garnier is typical of the second Empire period. Built in 1860, it will entice you with the opulence of its golden architecture. The Opera Bastille will charm you, on the other hand, with is modern facade made of glass and charcoal grey marble.
The greatest avenue in the world
What would Paris be without its "Champs-Elysées"? We will of course drive through this famous avenue surrounded by numerous stores, movie theaters, and restaurants.
The Triumph Arch (symbol of the Napoleon period) dominates the avenue from the top, and the Place de la Concorde glorifies it at the bottom. From here, you will have a wonderful view on the National Parliament, Madeleine’s Church, and the Tuileries Garden.
These are just some of the monuments to be seen on the tour...
