Presentation
Hop aboard our new Double-Decker Bus!
Let yourself be charmed by a whole new sightseeing experience with our Imperial City Tour!
Designed to offer an immersive, comfortable, and panoramic discovery, this two-level vehicle is much more than just a means of transport — it’s a true invitation to explore the heart of our heritage.
With its open-top upper deck, our double-decker bus guarantees a breathtaking 360° view of monuments, squares, historic facades, and the city’s most iconic spots. Whether you’re a visitor, a curious local, or simply a lover of beautiful discoveries, this urban journey offers a fresh perspective on the history and architecture of our region.
Perfect for capturing memorable moments, our eco-friendly electric vehicle combines comfort and space. Thanks to a unique audio-video system — the only one of its kind in France — visitors from around the world can enjoy multilingual commentary. The bus is also accessible to people with reduced mobility and features a retractable roof, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine while staying protected in case of rain.
