What to expect
You'll arrive at the meeting point and be kitted out with helmet, gloves, and goggles. The driver briefs you on the route before setting off. One of you settles into the sidecar while the other sits behind the pilot—this isn't leisurely cruising, but active sightseeing from a moving platform. Expect wind, engine noise, and the need to hold on as you navigate corners. At the halfway mark, you'll swap positions so both experience the sidecar thrill. The route covers Paris's headline attractions, though the focus is as much on the ride itself as the landmarks.
Good to know
Bring a light jacket—wind chill is noticeable at speed. The sidecar leans into corners; this is normal. Secure loose items before boarding. Service animals welcome. Wheelchair users can be accommodated; contact ahead to confirm logistics.
