Paris: 2CV Ride, Dinner, and Cabaret Show at Paradis Latin

Imagine cruising through Paris’s most iconic neighborhoods in a classic Citroën 2CV, followed by a gourmet French dinner prepared by a Michelin-starred chef, and finishing with a dazzling cabaret show in one of the city’s historic venues. For $332 per person, this five-hour experience offers a taste of luxury, charm, and entertainment—perfect for couples, first-time visitors, or anyone craving a blend of authentic Parisian atmosphere with a touch of glamour.

What we love about this tour is how seamlessly it combines visual delight with sensory indulgence. The private 2CV ride offers a charming, vintage perspective on Paris’s most celebrated sights—think Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais, and the Latin Quarter—while the dinner elevates your evening into a culinary adventure, thanks to Guy Savoy’s inventive dishes. The highlight, however, is the spectacular LOiseau Paradis show at Paradis Latin, which blends sensuality, poetry, and cutting-edge technology into a stage performance that’s as memorable as the city itself.

A potential consideration is that this experience is quite curated and luxurious—it’s not the best fit if you’re on a tight budget or looking for a casual, low-key night. Also, the experience is limited to small groups of just three people, which can be a plus or a minus depending on whether you prefer intimate or more social outings.

This experience suits travelers who want a romantic, elegant, and uniquely Parisian night out. It’s especially ideal for those celebrating a special occasion or visitors who are eager to indulge in some of the best culinary and entertainment offerings the city has to offer.

A Vintage Ride Around Paris’s Most Famous Sights

The tour begins at 1 Pl. Juliette Gréco, where you’ll step into a classic Citroën 2CV—a vintage car emblematic of Parisian charm. With your driver-guide, you’ll cruise for about an hour through neighborhoods like the Latin Quarter, Saint-Germain, and near the Eiffel Tower.

This isn’t just a transport mode; it’s a moving photo album. We loved the way the car’s open sides let us feel the city breeze and see the intricate details—bustling streets, historic facades, and hidden alleyways. One review mentions, “We loved the vintage flair and the views from the car—they really let us see the city from a different perspective.” The ride is private, intimate, and relaxed, making it an excellent way to start your evening with a taste of Parisian nostalgia.

Iconic Landmarks and Hidden Gems

The driver-guide points out landmarks like École-Militaire, Invalides, the Eiffel Tower, and Pont Alexandre III. You get quick photo stops at key sights—like the Eiffel Tower, where you’ll have about 10 minutes to snap pictures or soak in the view. Other stops include the Grand Palais and the Pantheon. These moments are brief but meaningful, offering just enough time to capture the magic of Paris’s most celebrated monuments without feeling rushed.

One of the appealing aspects here is how the guide injects local stories and interesting trivia, enriching what could otherwise be a simple sightseeing drive. Visitors often comment on the driver’s passion and knowledge, which makes the journey more engaging.

Dinner at Paradis Latin

After your vintage ride, you arrive at Paradis Latin, one of Paris’s oldest cabarets—established in 1803. Here, you’ll enjoy a gourmet dinner crafted by Guy Savoy, a chef renowned for his inventive French cuisine and two-Michelin-star reputation. The menu is a reinvention of classic dishes, executed with finesse and creativity.

What makes this dinner stand out is the combination of refinement and authentic French flavors. We loved the way the dishes were presented—artful, yet hearty—and appreciated the chance to indulge without worrying about ordering or splitting bills. Keep in mind, drinks during dinner are not included, so budget for a glass or two of wine or champagne if you wish.
