Details:
The Dutch were the first to call it "heat lelijke eendje" (the ugly duckling), while the Flemish called it "de geit" (the goat). In German-speaking countries it's called "Ente" (duck) ironically, for its off-road abilities and swinging moves. The English nicknames include "Tin Snail", "Dolly" and "Upside-down pram" and. In Spanish-speaking countries they were nicknamed "dos caballos" citrola" or "citroneta" but whatever it was called it is a French Legend among cars.
The Citroen 2CV (French: deux chevaux, literally "two horses", from the tax horsepower rating) was an economy car produced by the French automaker Citroen from 1948 to 1990.
It is considered one of their most iconic cars. It was designed for low cost, simplicity, versatility, reliability and off-road driving.
The 2CV was produced for 42 years, the model finally succumbing to customer demands for speed and safety, areas in which this ancient design had fallen significantly behind modern cars.
Relax while you're driven around by your driver/guide who'll give you an interesting running commentary.
And, if you wish, the tour can take place at night combined with one of our interesting restaurant finds for a romantic evening

Imagine dangerous beasts slowly encroaching upon Roman gladiators as you stand in the middle of the biggest amphitheater outside of Italy. Continue through the historic streets of the Marais and admire the grand architecture surrounding the oldest square in Paris.

(Ref# P-2CV-FR1).
Description: The morning of July 14, 1789 marked the beginning of a new era in French history as fire and smoke As rose up from the ashes of the Bastille. As the citizens of France stormed the medieval prison crying “Vive la Revolution!”, the embers of a republic began to grow. And as the guillotine worked feverishly from morning till night sending devout royalists to their death, the long bloodline of corrupt kings was extinguished with the beheading of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Join us as we follow in the footsteps of the revolutionaries and discover the re-birth of Paris as a city free from monarchy yet fraught with chaos.

Completed on May 6th, 1889 for the grand opening of the Paris World Fair, it was one of the greatest architectural achievements of the century. Standing taller than any other building, it highlighted to the world that the glorious City of Lights was on the edge of modernity. And with some of the most magnificent structures surrounding it, such as The opulent Opera Garnier, the grand Arch de Triomphe with it's detailed sculptures, the extravagant Alexander III bridge and the wondrous Grand Palais with it's groundbreaking glass roof, it enhanced the feelings of hope and prosperity of the time.
