Mini Cooper Classic Tour — Paris & Île-de-France

4 hours

Easy

Drive a vintage Mini Cooper through the most scenic corners of the Paris region — châteaux, hidden villages, forest roads and panoramic terraces — before arriving by the Seine for lunch and a river cruise.

Imagine stepping into an authentic Mini Cooper from the 1970s, engine purring, no power steering, no sat-nav — just a roadbook, your team and the open road. That is exactly what awaits you on the Mini Cooper Classic Tour, Sequanaute's signature group experience in and around Paris.

Your adventure begins at Brasserie Tourville, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, where your guide briefs the group and assigns teams of up to three per car. From Place Joffre, with the Tour Eiffel as your backdrop, the convoy rolls south, leaving the city behind in minutes via the Périphérique Sud.

Over four hours, your fleet of vintage Minis winds through some of the most beautiful corners of Île-de-France: the sweeping panorama over Paris from the Meudon Observatory terrace, the gilded gates of Versailles, the cobblestone lanes of Chevreuse and Rochefort-en-Yvelines, the timeless moats of Château de Dampierre and the hilltop village of Janvry with its unobstructed view of the capital on the horizon.

Throughout the route, teams compete in a live rally game via a dedicated app — completing photo missions, local challenges and trivia at each stop, scoring points to claim the winner's trophy at the finish line.

The tour ends at Parc de l'Europe in Issy-les-Moulineaux, right on the banks of the Seine, where lunch awaits at a riverside restaurant. From there, step aboard a private river cruise for a relaxed return to the heart of Paris — floating past the Eiffel Tower one last time from the water.

A half-day unlike any other. Perfect for corporate groups, incentive trips, team-building events and private celebrations
