Citroën 2CV: chauffeured transfer from Paris CDG

Nothing makes Paris smile like a 2CV. Belle Arrivée's 2CV meets you at Charles de Gaulle; roll back the canvas roof and let the city in on the way to your hotel.

The car

Unveiled at the Paris Salon on 7 October 1948, the 2CV was designed to carry four people and a basket of eggs across a ploughed field without breaking one. It stayed in production for 42 years, until 1990, and became a symbol of French simplicity and good humour.

Its canvas roof rolls back along the full length of the car, which makes the drive into Paris feel like an open-air tour.
