From Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Tower: a 2CV cruise along the Seine River!
The Seine is the very heart of Paris! For many centuries, the river was the primary means of communication in the capital and, as a result, at the center of Parisian life. So, it's not surprising to find some of the most beautiful buildings in Paris along its banks.
Along the banks of the Seine, aboard your vintage convertible car, from the Île de la Cité, home to the majestic Notre-Dame de Paris, to the Eiffel Tower crowning a century of revolutions, you'll be able to admire: the Palais de la Cité, the first residence of the Kings of France; the Louvre Palace, initially a fortress built to defend Paris from invaders under Philip II Augustus; the Tuileries Garden, designed by André Le Nôtre, the landscaper of the Palace of Versailles; the Monnaie de Paris, a magnificent private mansion housing the Museum of Money; the Hôtel des Invalides and its esplanade, a military complex built under the orders of Louis XIV; and some of the most beautiful bridges in Paris.
Narrated with the passion of a Parisi Tour guide, you'll be surprised to discover numerous anecdotes about these Parisian treasures! Always eager to captivate their passengers, our guides offer tailor-made tours. Each proposed tour is unique!
The major monuments narrated by locals: authenticity guaranteed!
How many times have you heard the story of the Eiffel Tower, the icon of an entire country? But do you really know what the Eiffel Tower means to a Parisian?
Much more than just tourist guides, our guides are Parisians in love with their city. With emotion, they will tell you the human and social history of the great monuments, the connections that unite these monuments to the French from generation to generation.
And the Arc de Triomphe, a monument to the glory of Napoleon and his troops, inaugurated in 1836, do you really know it? Almost two centuries after its creation, it still holds tremendous symbolic significance for the nation. Today, it represents all of the country's victories and struggles. The tomb and the flame of the unknown soldier, the military parade of July 14th, popular gatherings on the occasion of the great sporting victories of the French teams, or even social protests - all these events are connected to the Arc de Triomphe on the Place de l'Étoile.
Your guide will sincerely convey to you the historical significance of the great Parisian monuments and what they have become over the centuries.
