The stops
We stop the engine, you strike a pose
One photo stop where we actually park, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, where the big houses stage their shows. I take the photos with your phone, like a real fashion photographer.
At the other stops, we slow down past the windows: I tell you each house's story and the addresses to remember for coming back on foot.
Want real photos? I'm also a professional photographer.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
Where do we meet?
Place de l'Odéon, Paris 6th (Odéon metro, lines 4 and 10). I send you the exact spot and my number the day before. I can also pick you up at your hotel for an extra charge.
Do we go into the shops?
No, it's a drive: we pass the houses and I tell you their stories. I give you the list of addresses so you can come back on foot.
Is the price really the same for 2 or 3 people?
Yes. The price is per car, not per person: up to 3 passengers ride for the same price.
