If you live in the capital or if you have been there recently, you could not have missed them circulating in the streets. And yes, the famous Thai Tuk Tuks have landed in Paris.
The Tuk Tuk, also called a "samlor", was originally a pedal-powered tricycle taxi found in poorer parts of the world. The bicycle was gradually replaced by the scooter.
Of Japanese origin, the Tuk Tuk became Thai when it was decorated with flashing lights and lucky stickers.
For a long time, it was the most widespread means of transport in Thailand. But now, it is steadily decreasing. Not really economical or ultimately practical, it now seems destined to become a tourist attraction, a sort of symbol of Thai culture.
Tuk Tuks on the Place de la Concorde
Tuk Tuks are a delight for tourists who want to tour Paris without wearing out their shoes too much. You can thus tour the most famous monuments of the capital, walk along the Seine and even take the romantic little streets. There are 6 à la carte tours to allow you to see all the must-see in Paris, day or night.
On the program, it is a truly exotic walk that is offered to you. Admittedly, the price is a little higher than a taxi, but what a pleasure to discover the capital in such an unusual way.
There are also Tuk Tuks in the Côte d'Azur
It seems that these curious machines are also beginning to colonize a few cities on the Côte d'Azur such as Cannes and Nice to offer tourists unusual and bucolic summer walks.
Tuk Tuks can drop you off at the beach, at your hotel, at the casino... Here too you can opt for tours to discover Cannes, Antibes, Juan les Pins, Nice, Monaco or Menton.
