A) Paris L' Open Tour.

The RATP and two partners (Cityrama and Guide Friday) have joined together to form a group in order to operate a regular tourist bus route in Paris.

3 circuits to discover Paris "seen from on high":

• One main route (Madeleine / Madeleine),
  
• A Bercy branch (Bercy / Notre-Dame),
  
• A Montmartre branch (Madeleine / Anvers Sacré-Coeur).

The vehicles can be boarded with a 1 day or 2 consecutive day pass, starting from the day first validated, getting on and off the same line as often as you like to visit and see everything at your own pace (complete tour around 2h, frequency 15 to 20 minutes).

The circuit has a commentary in French and English on the main line and runs 7 days a week, all year round. Individual headphones (not replaced in the event of loss) are given to the holders of the Pass when their ticket is first validated.

The visit of Paris is by open-top double-decker buses, offering superb views from the top deck.
