Electric Vintage Solex Tour – Canal Saint-Martin & Le Marais

About this activity

Enjoy a two-hour ride through a vibrant and authentic Paris on an electric vintage Solex, a unique and eco-friendly way to explore the city. A true icon of French culture, the Solex is a vintage motorized bicycle from the 60s to 80s, now carefully restored and electrified to offer a smooth, silent and effortless ride.

From Canal Saint-Martin to Le Marais… and beyond, discover a different side of Paris, between lively neighborhoods and more hidden, intimate streets. This shorter experience is perfect for getting a first feel of the city, away from the usual tourist paths.

With one Solex per participant and all necessary equipment provided, this ride combines freedom, simplicity and elegance — an easy and memorable way to experience Paris in just two hours.
