Paris Night Tours Map and Meeting Points

Most of these tours ask you to meet them somewhere, and the rest collect you from your own address. If you have booked a paris night bike tour or a cruise, this is where it starts. Finding a pontoon or a bus stop in daylight is trivial; finding it at 9pm in November is not, and one of them sits behind a keypad on level minus one of a car park.

Port de la Bourdonnais — the dinner cruise

On the right bank directly below the Eiffel Tower, 75007. Boarding is at pontoon 5 or 7, and you are asked to arrive at least fifteen minutes before departure because the boat leaves on time. Nearest métro: Bir-Hakeim (line 6) or Trocadéro (lines 6 and 9), both about ten minutes on foot.

Port de la Conférence — the Bateaux-Mouches cruise

Beside the Pont de l'Alma, 75008, on the right bank. Sailings leave every thirty minutes from 17:00, so a missed one costs you half an hour rather than the evening. Nearest métro: Alma-Marceau (line 9). The ticket stays valid for six months if you miss the sailing entirely.

Port de Suffren — the Vedettes de Paris cruise

At the foot of the Eiffel Tower on the left bank, 75007. Look for three large red, white and blue flags on the quay and go down the gangway beneath them. Arrive twenty minutes early: this boat has a fixed capacity of two hundred and seating is not guaranteed, which is the single most common complaint in its reviews.

11 Avenue de l'Opéra — the night bus

Big Bus Stop 1, outside the information centre, 75001. Departure is 21:30 from 30 March to 27 September and 20:30 from 28 September, and you should be there fifteen minutes before. Nearest métro: Pyramides (lines 7 and 14) or Opéra (lines 3, 7 and 8).

101 Avenue de la Bourdonnais — the segway tour

A shopfront base a few streets back from the Champ de Mars, 75007, where the training happens before you set off. Nearest métro: École Militaire (line 8). One reviewer missed this tour because a station closure made their stop unreachable, so check the line on the evening itself rather than trusting the morning.

Parking Meyerbeer, level minus one — the bike tour

The hardest one to find of all of them. The meeting point is inside an underground car park at 3 Rue de la Chaussée-d'Antin, 75009, one level below the street. Walk down the car ramp; if the gate is closed the entry code is 1009A. Nearest métro: Chaussée d'Antin – La Fayette (lines 7 and 9). Allow ten minutes more than you think.

The clock statue at Saint-Lazare — the Withlocals walk

The sculpture of stacked clocks called L'Heure de Tous, in the Cour du Havre outside Gare Saint-Lazare, 75008. It is unmistakable once you are in the courtyard and invisible from the street. Nearest métro: Saint-Lazare (lines 3, 12, 13 and 14).

5 Rue du Temple — the evening walking tour

In front of a bakery called The French Bastards, in the Marais, 75004. Nearest métro: Hôtel de Ville (lines 1 and 11). The walk goes west from here through the lit centre, so you finish some distance from where you started.

Arc de Triomphe and Petit Palais — the 2CV tours

Both 2CV operators collect from any address in Paris, and both have a fallback point if you do not name one: the Arc de Triomphe at Place Charles de Gaulle, 75008, for the pink 2CV, and the Petit Palais on Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008, for the Christmas lights tour. If you are being collected, give a street address rather than a landmark.

Place Vauban — the golf cart

On the south side of Les Invalides, 75007, with its dome floodlit above you while you wait. Free pickup is also offered from the 1st, 2nd, 7th, 8th, 9th, 15th and 16th arrondissements, so use that if your hotel is in one of them. Nearest métro: Saint-François-Xavier (line 13).

82 Boulevard de Clichy — the Moulin Rouge

Outside the Moulin Rouge itself, 75018, in front of the ticket office rather than inside it. The representative wears a red jacket and waits on the pavement; going into the ticket office is the mistake the operator specifically asks you not to make, because they do not hold your tickets. Nearest métro: Blanche (line 2).

All eleven at a glance

If any of this looks like more effort than you want at the end of a long day, several of the departures listed on Paris Night Tours collect you from your own door instead. The night tour options page says which.
