Hi, I am going to Paris very soon with my 8-year old who is great but has short legs and can%26#39;t walk forever. I would like a tour that will go to the Eiffel tower (go all the way up) Arc de Triumphe, Notre Dame (go in and get a tour inside), St. Chappelle, Conciergerie, Latin Quarter, maybe a peak at some of the more famous works at the Louve (we will do a separate tour on our own later), and maybe take a Seine river tour. Is there any one tour that will accomplish all of this, or maybe one plus separate Seine river tour? I have seen open top bus tours, thinking the top would be unbearable this time of year, maybe they don%26#39;t run those now. Any advice appreciated.
Merci, Lisa

The open top bus tours are definitely much better when the weather is pleasant. Otherwise, you would want to be dressed so as to be comfortable, and it will be very windy up there! In the winter, you could probably taxi to those places you wish to %26quot;hop off%26quot; more economically.
I do not know of any tour that includes going to the top of the Eiffel Tower or includes a tour inside Notre Dame (though some will stop and allow time for an inside visit). No bus tours include a tour of the Louvre.
I would highly recommend that you e-mail Michael Osman (parisfind@aol.com) and see if he is available for one or two days of your visit. He is outstanding and can ensure that you accomplish all this, with him and/or on your own.

Plenty of options here, including most of the places you are interested in: www.parisvision.com/en,4-Paris-by-day.htm

The L%26#39;Open Bus has an enclosed lower deck IIRC.
