About this tour
Explore Paris from an unconventional vantage point aboard a vintage sidecar motorcycle. This 90-minute private tour navigates central Paris (arrondissements 1–17) with a licensed driver who shares local stories and lesser-known corners of the city. You'll experience the capital's charm at a pace that sits between walking and standard transport, switching between sidecar and seat positions if desired. The route adapts to your interests, whether architectural, culinary, or historical.

What to expect
You'll meet your driver at your hotel or a central location within Paris. Two passengers fit per sidecar; larger groups travel on two bikes. Expect a flowing 90 minutes weaving through the city's quieter quarters, hearing stories that breathe context into what you see—a café corner, a period façade, a bridge's history. The sidecar gives you a traveller's perspective: low-slung and exposed enough to notice details, but moving steadily enough to cover genuine distance. You can swap positions midway if both passengers want the full experience. Rain gear keeps you dry; helmets, gloves and goggles are provided.
