It’s a scenic and comfortable ride as your guide safely maneuvers through the streets to get you to your destination.

If you’re in the sidecar, there’s a lot to take in as you enjoy the comfortable breeze. Kick back and take in the many sights of Paris, including the expansive grounds of the palace.
