Big Bus Paris

Big Bus Paris (used to be called Les Cars Rouges) is the oldest tour bus operator in Paris. These buses are red , as the name used to suggest.

Paris is extremely well-lit up at night and it's worth discovering the city after dusk. This is why the Big Bus operator includes a tour of Paris at this time of day when visitors will be able to see the main monuments illuminated. 

Big Bus Paris has one line that takes a little over two hours with eleven stops . Passengers can hop off and hop on at any of the following stops:

Itinerario de Big Bus Paris

For your convenience, you can purchase tickets online here .

Foxity Sightseeing Tour

Foxity Sightseeing Tour was the last tour bus to arrive in Paris. At first, this company only included a bus tour without having the hop-on, hop-off option. However, due to pressure from tourists, it now allows its passengers to hop on and off.

Foxity also organizes night tours. 

Itinerario del Foxity Sightseeing Tour

The buses leave from the Eiffel Tower and its itinerary is very similar to the Big Bus Paris one. 

The timetable varies depending on the time of year. We recommend checking the times on their webpage . 

The ticket price is 42 EUR for adults ( € 49 ( US$ 53.40) for 2 days) . For children between 4 and 12 ticket price, is 23 EUR ( € 28 ( US$ 30.50) for 2 days) , and children under 4 years old take the tour for free.

Which tour bus to choose?

All of the above companies offer very similar services , although we recommend Paris OpenTour , as it has more routes and more stops, and therefore offers a more complete tour.

Paris Big Bus Tour Review

T he Paris Big Bus Tour is the gift that keeps on giving. Truth be told I love to walk and see cities on foot, but Paris is a must by bus because it makes financial sense, and it will save you a lot of time.

The Big Bus Tour in Paris

Is it worth it.

When traveling, I am a fan of taking public transportation and traveling like a local. It’s environmentally friendly and you can save money on car rental expenses.

Taking the Big Bus Tour was one of the best decisions that we made because the tourist attractions are spread apart, and you can see many more points of interest while saving time and money.  

Paris is made up of 20 neighborhoods (or arrondissements) and the Big Bus Tour will travel through 7 of them.  

We spent a total of 9 days and Paris and had a pretty full agenda which included lunch at the Eiffel Tower , a river cruise on the Seine, a day trip to Versailles, a classical concert at La Sainte Chapelle, trips to outdoor markets like Marche des Enfants Rouges, visiting the rooftop of the Arc de Triumph, souvenir shopping, Sacre Coeur, the Louvre Museum, the Champs Elysees, the Catacombs, Rue de Cler, Pont Alexandre , a croissant making class with a Parisien chef, Ile de la Cite, Berthillon, and more. We also ventured out to see Paris at night and the views were stunning!

How Long is the Big Bus Tour in Paris

The Red Route is the main tour, and it takes about two hours to see everything if you don’t exit the bus. We stayed on the bus from start to finish to get a idea of places that we wanted to visit on foot.

How Much is the Big Bus Tour in Paris

The ticket fee will vary based on the number of days that you want to join the tour bus. I recommend the combination ticket where you can see the points of interest for the Big Bus, and take a cruise on the river Seine.  

It is possible to do both the tour and the cruise in one day. If you join the tour and finish by 5 PM, you can then join the cruise on the river and catch the sunset depending on the time of year that you go.  

Check for tickets on the Paris Big Bus Tour here .

Are There Toilets on the Big Bus

Sorry, but no matter what the city it is very likely that you won’t find any restrooms. However, you can ask the driver or attendants on the bus to guide you. The wonderful thing about Paris is there are public restrooms available for just a euro.

When is the Best Time to Visit Paris

We went on the bus tour at the end of March for Spring break. The weather was a bit chilly and in the high 50s to low 60s. It was sunny, but not incredibly warm.  

The prime months are April, May, September, and October when highs reach a comfortable 60-70°F (15-21°C).

Big Bus Tour Review

We purchased our tickets online using a smartphone after touring Notre Dame. Because the cathedral was one of the tour stops, we thought we were close, but the stop was a 7-minute walk away.  

To add, the area was congested, and the instructions were confusing. After calling the tour company, we found the stop heading west but then learned that the bus stop was across the street and coming from the south direction.  

Fortunately, we caught it in time and were able to get nice seats on the upper deck. 

It was a sunny, cool day and one would think would be an excellent opportunity for photos. The problem for me is that I don’t have great photography skills and I was using my smartphone.  

When we got to a landmark or icon, it was difficult to take a good shot due to the speed at which the bus traveled, bumps in the road, construction equipment, or overgrown trees, not to mention the hands, heads, and cameras of other passengers.

On our tour there were two routes in operation, the red route, and another color (which may no longer be available). The red route took about two hours to see everything. Then we had to exit the bus at the last stop to catch another bus that went into other neighborhoods.

The most interesting point on the second route was The Moulin Rouge. Otherwise, the sights were non-eventful, so we caught up on rest and napped on the lower level during the ride.

Overall, it was time well spent. And since we planned activities at a few of the attractions we had the chance to make up for bad photos taken on the bus. 

Where to Catch the Big Bus Tour in Paris

There are 10 stops on the red route and the buses will arrive in frequent intervals. During peak visiting months, like spring to summer, you can expect longer waits and slim pickings for a good seat.

1 – Louvre Pyramide / Big Bus Information Centre (11 avenue de l’Opéra)

2 – Louvre at Pont des Arts (2 rue de l’Amiral de Coligny)

3 – Notre Dame ( 3, Rue Lagrange (outside souvenir shop, opposite park entrance)

4 – Musée d’Orsay (58 Place Henry de Montherlant, facing the museum)

5 – Champs-Elysées (156, avenue des Champs-Elysées, facing the Arc de Triomphe)

6 – Grand Palais (Avenue Winston Churchill, facing Grand Palais and Petit Palais)

7 – Trocadéro (Avenue Paul Doumer, next to the Musée de l’Homme)

8- Tour Eiffel (Quai Branly, Entrée 2 Tour Eiffel, at the north pillar of the Eiffel Tower)

9 – Champ de Mars (Avenue Joseph Bouvard)

10 – Opéra Garnier (Facing 15 rue Scribe, next to the Roissy airport shuttle bus stop)

Things to Know Before You Go

  • The tour is pre-recorded and the audio narratives can be heard in English, French, Italian , Spanish, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Mandarin, and Korean.
  • Be mindful of potential traffic delays, especially during peak hours so that you can plan your tour for off-peak times to avoid congestion.
  • Be aware of any events that may alter the experience (rallies, protests, huge sports competitions).

I can’t emphasize the awareness of events enough. There was an enormous parade outside our hotel on one trip, and protests that caused the Champs Elysee to be boarded up during another trip.

Final Thoughts on the Paris Big Bus Tour

Overall, it was a pretty fun girls’ trip but the last thing I wated to do was spend most of our time and money riding the subway all over Paris.

The Big Bus is a no brainer if you want to see the best of Paris without wearing yourself out.

As a US citizen, I try to make the most of my visits to Europe.

The more countries I visit, the more I am convinced that I’ve made the best use of a 10-hour flight.

A quick trip to the Covent Garden in London, Venice , Italy, or any another country is always must for me.

And as always, you can see whether you are in New York , Paris, or Chicago , you experience so much in a short amount of time with a Big Bus Tour.

Uber’s New Champagne Tour Is A Bubbly Escape From Paris For Only €200

As if you needed another reason to visit France this summer.

Over the past couple of months, nearly every person I follow on Instagram has gone to Europe (mostly because they scored Eras Tour tickets across the Atlantic , but there have definitely been others as well). With the Paris Olympics coming up in July, plus the return of Netflix’s Emily in Paris the following month, it’s only the beginning of IG’s seasonal Euro-fication.

I’m also guilty of this. At the end of May, I traveled to Paris to get a first-hand experience of Uber Bubbles , an all-new day trip excursion to France’s Champagne region that will be bookable to everyone in Paris via the Uber app starting Saturday, June 1. The tours are available every Friday and Saturday, from June 7 to Aug. 17.

The all-inclusive trip includes a ride from Paris to the Champagne region (and back!), plus tastings at two different champagne maisons, or houses: one will include a top-tier lunch at Perrier-Jouët’s Cellier Belle Époque ; the other, a cellar tour at Maison G.H. Mumm .

Whether you’re in it for the champagne and food, the gorgeous views of the French countryside, or the brief escape from the chaos of the city — or all three — consider this a cure-all for any jet-lag-induced ennui.

The bar at Perrier-Jouët’s Cellier Belle Époque is one of the stops on the Uber Bubbles tour.

The silver (or gold or bronze) lining: It costs a flat fee of €200 (~$218) total. Since each Uber Bubbles reservation can accommodate a maximum of four people, your grand total could be as low as €50 (~$55) per person. Plus, with Uber Reserve, there’s some flexibility. You can book up to 75 days in advance or opt for a last-minute trip 24 hours ahead of time — as long as there’s still availability.

I Tried The New Uber Bubbles Experience & It’s Luxe

The Uber Bubbles experience starts in Paris, where a Tesla picks you up from your choice location in the morning. (The cars all have huge Uber Bubbles stickers on them, so you can’t miss ‘em.)

Sit back and relax for your two-ish hour journey to the town of Épernay, where you’ll stop at Perrier-Jouët’s Cellier Belle Époque to taste three cuvées and enjoy lunch — and I mean *enjoy*. The menu was full of light bites, paired perfectly with champagne.

My personal favorite was the marinated salmon with cucumber and almond cream, paired with Perrier-Jouët’s Blason Rosé. (JSYK, the seasonal menu will have different offerings for the summer. Fear not, the French know how to cook, summer or spring.)

The bar at Perrier-Jouët’s Cellier Belle Époque is one of the stops on the Uber Bubbles tour.

Épernay is also home to the famous Avenue de Champagne , a street full of gorgeous champagne maisons, perfect for any IG photoshoot. (You’re in France — might as well!) Your driver will be with you the whole day, so you don’t have to stress about leaving your bags in the car or missing a pickup window. In other words, feel free to pose and post to your heart’s content.

Following your lunch, your driver will drive you about 45 minutes to Maison G.H. Mumm in Reims for a cellar tour, where you’ll learn about the champagne-making process and the history of Mumm — plus, their plans to pop champagne in space . (Turns out, bubbles are tricky when there’s no gravity, but they’re working on it.)

The tour is the perfect dose of info to make you feel smart, even when you’re three glasses of champagne deep. It was a bit like an episode of The Magic School Bus , but a 21+ version. For example, did you know that each cork needs to twist six times? Or that the bottles have to be rotated at specific angles for the process to work? Or that the bottles are all stacked like a very shatter-prone game of Jenga? Now you do!

The cellar at Maison G.H. Mumm is one of the stops on the Uber Bubbles tour.

Post-your trip underground, you’ll have a Cordon Rouge tasting, a perfect toast to your day in the Champagne region before your Uber driver takes you back to Paris just in time for watching the sun set over the Seine. You can stay in the region for longer if you prefer (maybe even plan a visit to Reims’ famous cathedral), you just will have to find your own way back to Paris — or wherever you’re headed next.

TLDR; If you’re joining the masses in traveling to France this season, you might as well break up your summer Euro trip with some bubbles and fresh air. More than 15 million people are expected to visit Paris this summer (30% higher than normal), so a tastefully boozy day away from the crowds is ideal.

You Can Book Uber Bubbles All Summer Long

Booking is simple. Just enter the Uber app and click the Uber Bubbles icon. Choose any available date through Aug. 17, enter your pick-up and drop-off preferences, and hit reserve. Once you receive your confirmation email, you should be good to go — just make sure to read the whole thing. Completing a Google form ensures the maisons will be prepped for your visit (especially if you have any dietary restrictions).

Uber Bubbles gives customers a tour of France's Champagne region.

Let’s be real, Paris is hard to beat. The architecture, museums , and restaurants are next level. Still, over the course of my six-day trip to France, the best moments (food, drink, photos, and more) happened in the Champagne region — and all my insufferable IG Stories are proof.
