We’ll provide a Paris map and a one day zone 1 to 3 travel card so you can get around by all of the public transport networks (the metro, tramway, bus, RER and SNCF Transilien networks) and visit all the top sights with ease!

Why not add Paris Open Top Bus Tour?

When you arrive at Gare du Nord Station, make your way to the Open Top Bus stop, situated outside the station at 35 rue Saint Quentin (facing the station: Gare du Nord Main entrance). Buses run every 10 to 15 minutes. Then marvel at Parisian gems including the Champs-Elysees, Arc de Triomphe and Place de la Concorde.
