Paris by night 🌙

Our night tours, paris by night 🌙.

If you pick this tour, you will be able to enjoy Paris without traffic (hard to believe, right? And yet it's true!). It is an amazing light show that many travelers miss because they are often tired after a long day walking and visiting Paris and its museums. Just hop on board, take a glass of Champagne, and relax, you're about to witness Paris' most iconic sites with the City's incredible lights: The Eiffel Tower and its sparkles, The Arc de Triomphe, The Champs Elysées, Place Vendôme, The Opera, The Sacré Coeur and Moulin Rouge, breathtaking bridges such as Pont Alexandre III or Pont Neuf, the list in almost endless...It is our most popular tour. Try it and you will understand why...

Tips:  - you need to wait until 9pm or 9.30pm to make sure traffic has settled down - during the summer, especially in June & July, the sun sets really late and you need to wait until 10pm before the lights are on - you need a three hour tour if you wish to enjoy all the sights

Romantic night tour 🌙

This tour clearly has Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” vibe. We will skip Paris’ iconic sites such as the Eiffel tower, the Arc, or Place de la Concorde, and will focus on the Left Bank and Montmartre. The idea is to drive around Paris’ old narrow streets with this romantic glare from the tiny lamp posts, wander in Saint Germain, drive along the Seine river, and climb up the hill of Montmartre with its steep charming cobbled streets. Add a bottle of Champagne on top of that and you got yourself a perfect honeymoon treat. Tips: in order to fully enjoy the romance, we think it’s better to avoid doing this tour on Friday evenings and Saturday evenings because there are more people in the streets. But that’s just to make it perfect 😉

We can pick you up from a restaurant at 9pm or 9.30pm to make sure traffic is smooth

X-mas lights tour 🌙

Get ready for an amazing light show! The Christmas lights & decorations are usually on display from mid-November to early January. The “common” night tour we do all year long is already stunning so if you add the Christmas lights, you will treat yourself with a magical light show. Don’t forget your camera!

Our day tours

Highlights tour.

This is your first or second time in Paris? You feel overwhelmed by the number of sites, the density of the city, you don't really know where to start? How about starting your journey with a local in his French vintage convertible car so that he can explain to you how the city is laid out, where are the famous areas, and give you tips for the rest of your stay? Come and enjoy Paris' most famous monuments, squares, bridges, all these iconic sites that made Paris. Two or two and a half hours are needed to see all the highlights of the West side and the center. Add a third hour to include Sacré Cœur & the unique hill of Montmartre. Tips: Warning, day tours in these areas can be very tricky traffic wise. Ideal time slots are Saturday morning and Sunday morning, the earlier the better. On weekdays, the best time frame is 9.30am-3.30pm, slightly better in the morning. 

Old Paris tour

Welcome to the Historical heart of Paris. Come and witness Paris’ oldest buildings, bridges, river banks, universities, book stores and its legendary neighborhoods: - Saint Germain , the unmissable! The heart of Paris' Left bank with its landmarks (famous cafés, brasseries & restaurants), its old church (oldest in Paris!), narrow streets, antique stores, bookstores, art galleries... 

- The Latin Quarter , the original! Travel through Paris' History with the old Roman baths and amphitheater, the famous Luxembourg gardens, the Sorbonne University, the Pantheon, prestigious schools & universities...

- Paris' islands! Yes you heard me, Paris is proud to have two natural islands in the heart of the city. "Ile de la Cité" and "île Saint-Louis" have numerous old stone bridges among which the unmissable Pont Neuf, oldest bridge in Paris, but also Notre Dame obviously, magnificent Place Dauphine, quirky narrow streets, old buildings…

- Le Marais , the multicultural! It is a mix of Historical areas such as Saint Paul's village with its hidden courtyards and its stone wall, but you will also find the Jewish quarters, the gay area, its trendy bars & clubs, the stunning Place des Vosges and its arcades (oldest square of Paris), art galleries, trendy clothes... Le Marais has it all!

Montmartre & Sacré-Cœur

Montmartre, obviously! This old hill is not just about the Moulin Rouge & the Sacré Cœur. Let us show you its hidden gems: steep cobbled streets, wooden windmills & old cabarets, vineyards, famous artists' workshops and art galleries...

Montmartre is the North part of Paris. We can pick you up anywhere you want in Paris and drop you off in Montmartre at the end of the tour so that you can spend more time to enjoy this unique area. There are plenty of things to do by foot, climb up the Sacré Cœur, visit small art galleries & museums, walk in the pedestrian alleys etc... In that case, a 1.5 hour tour is enough.

On the other hand, if you want us to drive you back at your accommodation in central Paris after Montmartre, a 2 hour tour is needed.

Paris off the beaten path

This tour is for those who are more than familiar with Paris' iconic sites and legendary areas. You have obviously seen most major sites, have walked hours in areas such as Saint Germain, le Marais and Montmartre and you are wondering what more Paris has to offer? Let's show you different areas, where there are hardly other toursits, and you’ll experience a whole other Paris. - East Paris : Come and enjoy Canal Saint Martin and its lively banks, its young and artsy areas, Buttes Chaumont's park and its rural neighborhood, Belleville and its overview and why not end this tour at Père Lachaise cemetery to finish with a nice walk in a very quiet but yet steep part of Paris?

- South Paris and its quiet old “villages” such as la Butte aux Cailles, huge street art murals, flowery places like la Cité florale, la Cité universitaire Internationale, Montsouris' park and its surroundings, Port Royal and its unaffordable real estate, Denfert Rochereau square with its lion and The catacombs...creepy but funny way to end this tour?

Tips:  - each of these two areas needs about an hour - you need three hours to see both areas in the same tour (they are not close to one another) - East Paris can be combined with Le Marais - South Paris can be combined with the Latin Quarter - Ideal timeslot to avoid traffic clearly is Saturday morning and Sunday morning, the earlier the better - on weekdays, it's best to do the tour in the 9.30am-3.30pm time frame Champagne available!

My husband and I had a magical night tour with Romain and he was absolutely amazing. We had best time touring all the spectacular landmarks and taking the best pictures. Romain is so kind and informative. Not to mention his enthusiasm for his beautiful city. We did several tours in Paris but this one was my absolute favorite. I think their drivers are hand picked carefully because he was the most polite and kind driver we had in Paris. It was a total Paris experience we will never forget. If you have an opportunity to have this experience, don't hesitate. It was more than worth the price.

Dear Daly, Thank you very much for this amazing review. I remember you telling me that your husband is a photographer. I hope he was able to get some great shots of Paris at night with all the lights on. Really happy you enjoyed your whole experience with us. My drivers are indeed handpicked carefully, that's why I only have five ;) Merci beaucoup, Cédric

Paris in a whole new light. Cedric's was FANTASTIC. The website was very good. Communication was excellent and our driver Romain was exceptional. We'd been in Paris 2 days before we took the Night Tour to see the lights and discover Paris in a different light so to speak. Romain asked us what we wanted to do and see and crafted a tour to show us spots we'd seen in Paris as well as to show us places we hadn't, so we could explore them later in our trip or on another trip in the future. I highly recommend you do the tour and see Paris in a whole new light.

Thank you Merle for such a great review. I'll make sure Romain sees it. Customized itineraries and recommendations is what we love. It's more fun for us! Merci Merle! Cédric

Easy way to get around to see Paris. The larger bus tours are not so great. Personal service is a plus.

Merci Lorraine for your review. Yes indeed we think personal service is always better. We always try to tailor our itineraries to our passengers' wish. It's better for you guys and so much funnier for us. Merci Lorraine! Cédric

Cedric's night tour made my 1st trip to Paris magical and unforgettable! He took me to all the sights I'd seen during the daylight & created this fantasyland in lights then drove me back to Vincennes along the Seine. He treated me just like a Princess. Next trip to Paris was with two friends & I knew all of us would not fit in his Citroen. Being the creative guy he is, he was able to get a larger car; a long, sleek, black car with wing doors & everywhere we went, we were asked for a photo with the car. I've recommended Cedric to many & I wouldn't do a trip to Paris without a tour with Cedric! Make sure to email him for a reservation as soon as you buy your plane/train ticket.

Dear Gail, Merci beaucoup for your very sweet message! It was really great sharing my city with you and with your friends. My colleagues and I can't wait to start our tours again...soon enough I hope! Take good care. Cédric

In August 2017, me and my husband eloped in Paris. We stumbled upon Cedric's service and knew that we wanted him to drive us around. He even gave us a discount since my husband is a volunteer firefighter! Ahead of time through email correspondence, Cedric even gave us several suggestions for sights to hold the ceremony. He showed up on time and gave an AMAZING tour on the way to the sight of the elopement. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the city. We originally booked him for Friday, but since it was supposed to rain, the photographer wanted to switch the ceremony to Saturday. Cedric was very accommodating and, without a thought, agreed to do the tour the following day. The icing on the cake is that Cedric agreed to act as our wedding officiant and read from a script we provided - He was marvelous, of course! Cedric has a great business and I would recommend him to anybody! he was certainly one of the highlights of our trip! I can not say enough about how much of a stand up guy he is (and the car itself was very cool too!)

We were celebrating a friend's birthday with a trip to Paris from NYC recently and my friend found Cedric by combing TripAdvisor for the best, unique tour of Paris. Cedric is a total gem and I'd recommend him to anyone!! We all had been to Paris a few times and wanted an insiders perspective of unique places to see. Cedric provided us with not only the cutest car and convertible we've ever been in (vintage 1984 citroen convertible), he also helped us learn so much about Paris and worked to ensure he customized our sightseeing to what our interests were based on seeing the main sites on earlier trips. I'd highly recommend him as he is also a smart, great guy full of Parisian knowledge full of passion when conveying his love of his country to others.

While it's impossible to think of a best thing in Paris, our 2-hour nighttime champagne tour of Paris with Amin might be the best thing we did in Paris. Amin took us to all of the best lit up spots in Paris and was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the tour and his city. It was worth every penny.

Cédric was referred to us by our wedding photographer (Brant Smith), and we were exceptionally pleased with his service! He was punctual, polite, professional, personable, and an expert at navigating through Paris for our wedding photographs. He is a native Parisian and is knowledgeable about the vast sights and history of his town. He speaks English beautifully and is an excellent tour guide!! If you need a driver for your wedding photos, or are visiting Paris and are interested in a tour, give Cédric a call! He will exceed your expectations and you'll be happy with the experience and will go home with wonderful memories!! Bon voyage!! Lynn and Eddie Arlington, Texas USA

Hands down our favorite part of our Paris trip was our tour with Chris in the green 2CV. He took us to every beautiful must see spots in Paris, and Paris was even more beautiful at night. My fiancé and I had gotten engaged earlier that night, and it was the perfect end to our night to go on this tour. Chris took pictures of us wherever we wanted, and the 2CV could fit anywhere, making it easy to stop. Chris told us all about the city, and it was like talking to a friend rather than going on a generic fact filled tour. Would definitely recommend!

We were referred to Cedric by a friend who had taken his tour and it was the best! My family and I had a wonderful tour of Paris is Bert, his VW van with an open top. The weather was perfection, and we loved his very informative tour of the city. His English was perfect too, so if your french is negligible, he will be able to show you everything without difficulty. It's worth the expense to have a comfortable and detailed ride around town! We loved Cedric!
