About this tour

Travel from your Paris hotel to Versailles in a classic 2CV, winding through residential quarters, past the Eiffel Tower and across the Bois de Boulogne before reaching the palace. You'll have two and a half hours to explore the Hall of Mirrors, sprawling gardens and fountains at your own pace, then return to your accommodation. The 4-hour round trip takes in the Île-de-France landscapes that once belonged to Louis XV.

Highlights

  • Private 2CV journey through Paris arrondissements and royal forests
  • Hall of Mirrors and fountain gardens at leisure
  • Drive past Eiffel Tower and Bois de Boulogne racecourses
  • Vintage Polaroid souvenir to take home
  • Complimentary beret or hat for the ride

What to expect

Your driver collects you from your hotel and navigates through central Paris, giving you ground-level views of the 16th arrondissement's tree-lined streets and the Bois de Boulogne's racing heritage. The 2CV itself becomes part of the experience—a leisurely, characterful way to see the city transition into forest. Once dropped at Versailles, the palace and gardens are yours to explore without a guide. The fountains operate seasonally, so check ahead. You'll return the same way, arriving back at your hotel with time to spare.
