The Paris of the Parisians
Description
Do you already know the monuments where you would prefer an original route to the clichés of the tourist routes of typical Paris deja-vu? These towers are for you! The “Unusual Paris” tours are not typical tours. These tours will take you away from famous statues, churches and monuments, and introduce you to an unexpected, yet delightful side to the capital. Our Parisian drivers, and passionate about history, will show you lots of life and novelties and little hidden corners of paradise. Have you heard of: The City of Flowers? The arenas of Lutèce? The Butte aux Cailles? The Alligre market? The Campaign in Paris? the entrances to the catacombs? soon yes! It's a really fun way to discover the other side of Paris, by Parisians.

Discover an old district of Paris, filled with flowers and plants on several streets, transforming this district into a haven of peace in the heart of Paris.
An excellent cheese? a (real) excellent baguette? local products tested every day by the Parisians of the district, it is indeed at the red children's market that one can find this market so rich and yet authentic.

Visit the Roman and Gallic remains, in our city formerly called Lutèce, with its prestigious arena, accompanied by so many other surprises by crossing the rue Saint Jacques, the old main road of the Romans, where you can discover pieces of Roman wall very well hidden and preserved where still a slab from the time of the Roman forum dating from the 1st century still present in a corner nestled in Saint Michel. So much to see in this district for all history buffs, Gallos-Romans, or quite simply… Parisians!

So much fun. We landed in Paris and had thus your st 4:30 a bit late but we wanted to get out and see the city. It is a motorized oversized cart with your driver. Tuktuk. We drove over to the left bank area and had stops along the way to take pictures. Stopped in the St Germaine area for local food and dessert. It was dark when we ended so md y spots we did not go to. Would recommend doing this during the early afternoon to get the most out of the tour.
Hello, Thank you for your comment! Indeed, in winter, night falls at 5 p.m. in Paris, and the city lights up everywhere, suddenly transforming the tour into a stroll through the illuminations. Come back soon for a tour off the beaten track, because you have to experience the beating heart of the city! Eric
Such a great experience, the car made a huge difference! Sofiane took us to all the cool spots, unusual Eiffel Tower views and mon martre
Hello! Thank you for this nice comment. yes we have a small team of local driver guides so we know about the off the beaten path life in Paris! I wish you a good trip back home! Eric
Tour 4 "Walk around Paris Notre-Dame" reserved for 2 adults and a 6 year old girl. Everyone was delighted. Very original mode of transport to discover Paris, including for Parisians. To be repeated on another theme.

Bravo tour excellent We spent a very nice morning a driver at the top with great betting knowledge
Bonjour! Merci pour votre retour..oui nous essayons de partager notre ville, et ce n'est pas une mince affaire que de la connaitre! A une prochaine fois!
Good tour but we feel it was missing some history. Driver was courteous and English speaking was much appreciated. Would have liked to stop more
You should ask for some more stops! :-) our tours are totally flexible and customizable, we can stop whenever and wherever we want, and the courteous and English speaking driver is able to understand if you ask him!...Hope you had a good time in Paris!!
A unique experience. Mr Bruno has always been attentive and very professional. I travel to Paris quite a lot on business and after having gone through very bad experiences with various "companies" of tuk tuk..... price deceptions........ Finally, Mr. Bruno is the most professional and one of the oldest in Paris. Bravo Bruno A très bientôt 👏👏
Muchas gracias!!
THANK YOU ERIC PIERRE! This was an amazing experience. We toured two ‘flavors’ of Paris and learned the lingo of moving around the city. We absolutely loved our guide who was so kind and shared so many tips and fun historical facts. Highly recommend this for families with children. We even stopped at a market to pick up fresh Brie, olives and a pomegranate for our picnic lunch later than day.
Thank you Susan, that was a delight also for me! yes it is important to experience the "other sides" of this city if you want to understand it's identity! I wish you all the best and see you next year!
