Description

You're not here to watch Paris through a window. You're here to feel it. Aboard your private electric tuk tuk — whisper-quiet, open to the city air, built for 2 to 6 passengers — you'll trace Napoleon Bonaparte's footsteps across Paris with a passionate expert guide at your side. Every stop is a scene. Every story, a revelation. The Arc de Triomphe sets the stage: Napoleon commissioned it in 1806 after his triumph at Austerlitz. He never lived to see it finished. His coffin passed beneath it in 1840 — 19 years after his death. Next, the Pont d'Iéna: named after Napoleon's 1806 victory over Prussia. During his retreat in 1814, he ordered it destroyed. The Prussians refused to let him. The Esplanade des Invalides and its gilded dome: Napoleon's tomb. He asked to rest 'on the banks of the Seine' — a wish finally granted two centuries after his death. The Pont Alexandre III: the finest angle for photographing the dome, the Seine, and the full sweep of imperial Paris in a single frame. The Église de la Madeleine: seized by Napoleon in 1806 to become the Temple of Glory for the Grande Armée. His fall changed everything. Place Vendôme and its column: cast from the bronze of 1,200 cannons captured at Austerlitz. Napoleon stands at the top, dressed as a Roman emperor. Courbet had it torn down in 1871 — it was rebuilt, identical, within years. The Opéra Garnier to close: Napoleon III's masterpiece, the direct heir to his uncle's grand vision for Paris — the perfect final scene for a 2-hour imperial journey. This tour is ideal for families, groups of friends, couples, and anyone who wants to experience Paris beyond the usual.
