Nathan,
We took a car tour in a vintage Citroen 2cv with 2CV Paris Tour. We had a fantastic time! We signed up for the 2 hour tour.
Our driver Pierre(natch) drove us through quaint neighborhoods and down the Champs Elyse and along the Seine for the first half. He then dropped us off to watch the Eiffel Tower lights at 9:00. 10 minutes later he picked us up and we finished the evening driving through Montmartre, stopping at the Sacre Coeur to soak in the Paris skyline. He picked us up and dropped us off at our B&B.
When he heard we were from Macon, Pierre went to his iPhone and pulled up an Otis Redding song which he blasted through his Bluetooth speaker. For the rest of the trip, between descriptions of the scenery, we listened to R&B, plus Leon Russell, Joe Cocker and Edith Piaf. There's nothing like riding through the streets of Paris, listening to Albert King and the driver and I singing full throated: "You know wine and women is all I crave. I big legged woman will carry me to my grave!" We had so much fun we gave him a generous tip.
I suggest you book for later in the night when the traffic has eased.
If you want a cat tour, I suggest A Cat In Paris. It's a great movie!

hey nate
another 2CV tour is cedricsparis.com
different tours for day and night, friends did their tour and loved it, plus they are firemen and donate to orphans of firefighters - a good cause. bring a bottle of wine, corkscrew, small glass (plastic if possible in a bag) or champagne. Cheers enjoy

Be slightly careful, "car" in French is short for "autocar", which is a bus or coach in English. French for car is "auto".
Make sure you don't get confused in translation.

My husband and I also did the 2CV Paris Tour during our honeymoon, and it was amazing! We added on the bottle of champagne, and it was so much fun! I definitely recommend going at night time when everything is lit up. So great!
