All Triumphal Tour rider-guides are experienced motorcyclists, holders of a motorcycle licence, with a thorough knowledge of Parisian traffic.

Our routes are designed to favour comfort, safety and the discovery of Paris at a pleasant pace. The speed limits in force in the capital (30 km/h or 50 km/h depending on the area) are strictly observed, and our rides generally proceed at a moderate pace, suited to traffic conditions and to the quality of the experience.

Triumphal Tour provides an approved helmet for every participant. To guarantee impeccable hygiene, our helmets are cleaned and disinfected daily, and single-use liners are available before departure.

Rain is no obstacle to the experience. At Triumphal Tour, rides go ahead in light rain or passing showers, which are generally short-lived in Paris.

To ensure your comfort, we provide all the necessary equipment: waterproof ponchos, approved helmets with protective goggles, and gloves.

Our sidecars are perfectly suited to letting you enjoy your discovery of Paris to the full, whatever the weather.

Ride your Movie! Because Paris reveals all its charm in the rain, too.

Triumphal Tour's services go ahead whatever the usual weather conditions. As our activity does not depend on the weather, rain is not grounds for cancellation. In the event of showers, waterproof ponchos are provided to ensure your comfort.

For cancellations more than 5 days before the date of the service, Triumphal Tour will refund 90 % of the sums paid. The remaining 10 % covers booking processing fees, bank charges and administrative costs incurred.

For cancellations 5 calendar days or fewer before the date of the service, no refund can be granted and the full amount of the service remains due to Triumphal Tour.

Triumphal Tour holds professional insurance suited to its activity, including public liability cover for material damage and bodily injury that may occur in the course of our services, in accordance with the terms of our insurance policy.

Our vehicles are also insured for the carriage of passengers, so that you may enjoy your escapade with complete peace of mind.

Triumphal Tour cannot, however, be held liable for the loss, theft or damage of personal effects or valuables belonging to participants. We therefore recommend keeping your personal belongings under your supervision throughout the tour.

All our experiences are conducted exclusively with a professional rider-guide, specially trained to handle our vehicles and to accompany our guests.

Each sidecar can carry up to 2 passengers, in addition to the rider-guide.

One passenger sits in the sidecar body, while the other rides behind the rider on an individual seat fitted with a grab handle, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the tour.

If your party numbers more than 2 people, no problem: simply book several sidecars. You can then enjoy the same experience while staying together along the whole route, each sidecar being ridden by a professional rider-guide.

No. For safety reasons and in line with our insurance obligations, only one passenger is permitted per seat, whatever their age.

When two passengers take part in a tour, one sits in the sidecar body, while the other rides behind the rider-guide on a separate seat fitted with a grab handle, ensuring comfort and safety throughout the experience.

To ensure the safety of all participants and comply with the regulations in force:

Children aged 4 and over may sit in the sidecar body. Children aged 8 and over may ride at the back of the motorcycle, behind the rider-guide.

Our rider-guides take care to adapt each passenger's seating to ensure maximum comfort and safety throughout the experience.
