Les Cars Rouges
In a nutshell
What could be better than a tailormade sightseeing trip
of Paris?
No more tired feet, no more rushing to fit everything in?
With Les Cars Rouges/The Red Buses, sightseeing takes on a new
meaning: tailormade to your requirements. Spend the time you
want to at the sights you want to see.
Do you want to see the whole city from a comfortable
seat on the bus?
The round tip lasts 2 1/4 hours. During that time,
you can be guided by the multilingual commentary (in French,
English, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin or
Russian).
Do you want to see a little more?
Then don't hesitate to hop off the bus and walk around -
helped by an audio guide! Your ticket is valid for two
consecutive days, which means that you can leave the tour at any
one of 9 stopoff points and then hop back on one of the
following buses.
Happy sightseeing!
Renting a bus
Visit Paris in a very different way.
You can rent one of our double-decker buses and tour Paris by
day or by night, along the route of your choice.
The top deck of these large buses can be completely open, in
order to get a panoramic view, or covered if the weather demands
it.
Please note that, because of their size and weight, our buses
cannot cover certain districts (Montmartre), or use certain
streets and bridges.
If you are interested in renting a bus and want to
look over one, get in touch with
us.
In order to get a cost estimate, we need the following
information: date, number of passengers, timetable, meeting
place(s), route to be taken, and your complete personal details.
Audio guides
The 7 most important sights, Montmartre and the streets of Paris,
great and small moments history (Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc
de Triomphe, the Louvre...), you can find all this in the multilingual
audio guides.
