TheOneToGo
The best way to see Paris after dark is from a bike at street level, rolling through the arrondissements as the monuments light up around you, not watching them scroll past a bus window.
Our pick
On two wheels you cover far more ground than a walking tour and reach quiet back streets a coach cannot, pausing at the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and the Seine embankments right as the lights come on. The pace is relaxed enough to take in the atmosphere yet quick enough to see it all in one evening, and a guide explains what you are actually looking at instead of just pointing at it from the saddle.
If our pick doesn't fit
A walking tour built around ghost stories and legend, costing far less and suited to those who prefer a slower, narrative-led night.
The bike leg covers the same lit-up sights, then you board a river boat, making it a considerably longer evening.
