Enjoy Parisian sights with Sixt rent a car!
Strolling down the leafy boulevards of Paris, or wandering hand in hand by the Seine, are romantic images that visitors love to recreate. To really explore this historic city properly, though, hiring a car is a good idea. Paris is a huge city, comprising 20 different districts, or arrondissements, and visiting them all on foot would be impossible. Taxis in Paris are expensive, and the Metro, while efficient, can be confusing for visitors and is often crowded and uncomfortable. Renting a car will allow you to see parts of the city that those who walk around the busy centre of Paris often miss. Car rental can be easily arranged through our online site before you travel, at the airport or train station on arrival, or at numerous offices in the city.
Top attractions in Paris, France
There are many famous central Parisian sights that visitors head straight for; the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe and the Cathedral of Notre Dame are all familiar must-see places to see. Sticking to only those predictable attractions, means you will spend a lot of your time in queues and surrounded by crowds. A hire car lets you drive west to the beautiful Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement, a park which is far larger than Central Park or Hyde Park, and home to many sporting events. The opposite side of the city has another massive park, the Bois de Vincennes, full of footpaths, boating lakes and a Buddhist Temple. Sometimes it is nice just to walk around Paris, with no particular landmark or monument in sight, and renting a car will let you find areas in which to stroll that are off the beaten track, such as the peaceful 17th arrondissement, a district of leafy streets filled with classic townhouses and peaceful squares. Park your hire car in the 18th arrondissement, and climb the steep hill to the famous white basilica of Sacre Coeur, or drive to the fascinating Pere Lachaise cemetery, a sprawling hillside filled with densely packed tombs and graves, and look for the burial places of the famous, including Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde and Edith Piaf.
