PARIS CITY VISION reserves the right to cancel or change certain tours without notice if this is necessary to insure the comfort or safety of passengers, in particular in the event of force majeure, strikes, natural disasters, cultural events, administrative decisions or unexpected closures. Force majeure refers to any event outside the control of the affected party, of an unpredictable, irresistible and insurmountable nature, which prevents PARIS CITY VISION from performing all or part of its obligations under this contract.

If PARIS CITY VISION cancels a tour, customers may request a refund of their tickets or of any packages they have booked.

Regarding Paris Seine - La Marina, being that cruises are subject to the rules of navigation, the service company reserves the right to determine whether or not rivers are navigable. Cruises may be canceled or modified at any time, beginning from the date of their booking, including on the day scheduled for departure, in accordance with the above-mentioned rules, or in the event of poor weather which may endanger the safety of the passengers on these cruises.

Within the limits provided by governing law, in case of cancelation of a cruise due to force majeure (such as floods, prohibitions on navigation by the authorities, etc.) a discount of 15% of the total amount, excluding options, will be applied.

The organizer or agency may cancel the trip if the minimum number of participants has not been registered:

• Twenty days before the departure date, for trips of more than 6 days
• Seven days before the departure date, for trips of 2 to 6 days.
• Forty-eight hours before the departure date, for 2-day trips.

Within the limits provided by governing law, the travelers will then be reimbursed for all the sums they have paid, but will not be entitled to compensation.

According to our Privacy Policy, PARIS CITY VISION undertakes not to use this information for commercial purposes.

Article 6 – Payment terms

Payment must be made, in full and by one of the available payment methods, at the time of booking.

Article 7 – Transfer of the contract

In accordance with Article L. 211-11 of the French Tourism Code, you may transfer this contract, provided that it has not been implemented and up to seven days before departure, by notifying the agency within a reasonable time of your wish to transfer the contract to a person who fulfills the same conditions as you do. You and the recipient of the transfer remain jointly and severally liable for the payment of the balance of the contract and of the transfer costs, which we will inform you of.

Article 8 - Dress code for evening excursions

Elegant business casual attire is required for evening shows, including the Moulin Rouge, dinner at the Eiffel Tower and the dinner cruise. For men, jackets and dress shoes are appreciated. No shorts, jeans, sports shoes or beach shoes such as “flip-flops.”

Article 9 - Customers with reduced mobility

Only certain excursions are equipped to accommodate customers with reduced mobility. It is strongly recommended to always check at the time of booking whether the tour actually offers the option for customers with reduced mobility.

Customers with reduced mobility must be accompanied by an able-bodied person. Guides, escorts and bus drivers are not authorized to assist customers with reduced mobility. 

In order for us to offer the best possible service, it is essential for customers to inform PARIS CITY VISION when booking equipment for people with reduced mobility. Otherwise, the passenger may be refused access and returned at his/her own expense.

If there is no suitable means of transport, the customer must be able to board independently, with the assistance of another person.

At the time of booking, information about the type of equipment used must be provided to the PARIS CITY VISION booking service (please specify the dimensions of the wheelchair, whether it is electric or mechanical and if it can be folded), so that we can offer the most suitable service.

Non-folding wheelchairs will not be accepted on board.

Similarly, guide dogs will only be accepted if PARIS CITY VISION is informed at the time of booking and if a guide dog card is presented.

Article 10 – Liability

Within the limits provided by governing law, PARIS CITY VISION cannot be held liable for failure to perform the Agreement in the event of force majeure, as defined in Article 1218 of the French Civil Code and French case law, or in the event of damage caused by a third party outside its control or due to improper or non-compliant use of the Services by the Customer, in breach of PARIS CITY VISION’s instructions.

Within the limits provided by governing law, in the event of strict liability on the part of the service providers, the compensation limits resulting from international agreements in accordance with Article L. 211-17-IV of the French Tourism Code shall apply. Failing this, and except in the case of personal injury, intentional or negligent damage, any damages shall be limited to three times the total price of the trip or the stay.

Personal items

PARIS CITY VISION and its providers cannot be held liable for the loss or theft of personal items or luggage during transport, tours and excursions, and we are not obliged to find or to return personal items.

All costs incurred with regard to lost or stolen personal items shall be borne by the customer.

Only small bags are allowed, in accordance with the regulations for national museums and monuments.

Customers may not leave their luggage in our agencies or in our buses during the tours.

Tours outside of French territory

For tours outside of French territory, it is the customer’s responsibility to verify that he/she has the necessary documents for his/her stay (a current identity card or a passport with visa if necessary). 

Discontinuance of tours

No refund will be given if the customer chooses to discontinue the route or service during the provision of service.

A customer’s voluntary departure from the tour will release PARIS CITY VISION from any obligation and from any liability for any incident that may occur after the customer’s departure and will result in the customer waiving any recourse against PARIS CITY VISION.

Customer delay

Any delay will be considered to be a discontinuation of the tour due to the customer’s voluntary departure and will have the same result. In this event, PARIS CITY VISION shall therefore be relieved of all liability and the customer must return at his/her own expense.

Drugs and alcohol

The customer undertakes to behave in a way that is not contrary to the rules of common sense and is in compliance with the current laws and regulations, in particular the bans on smoking, alcohol consumption and the transport of dangerous goods.

PARIS CITY VISION reserves the right to disembark any passenger who violates the regulations and/or whose behavior is clearly likely to put other passengers, the driver or a third party at risk, without this passenger being able to claim compensation or reimbursement.

We would like to remind you that alcohol abuse is dangerous for your health. PARIS CITY VISION cannot be held liable for any behavior or accidents that may occur to customers while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, or for any damage these customers may cause.

Article 11 – Insurance 

PARIS CITY VISION has an insurance contract with the MMA IARD SA insurance company, located at 14 boulevard Marie et Alexandre Oyon - 72030 Le Mans Cedex 9. This insurance contract covers the financial consequences of the civil liability PARIS CITY VISION may incur as a result of its activities.

PARIS CITY VISION is registered in the Atout France register under number IM075120024.

Article 12 – French Data Protection Act

The provisions concerning the protection of personal data set forth in the French Data Protection Act of 6 January 1978, as amended and the European Regulation on the protection of personal data of 27 April 2016 which entered into force on 25 May 2018 (“GDPR”) are found in the document attached entitled “Privacy Policy”, accessible on the Website.

In addition, as the customer's telephone details were collected at the time of booking, he/she can register free of charge on the anti-solicitation list on the www.bloctel.gouv.fr website.

Article 13 – Applicable law

These TCS are governed and interpreted in accordance with French law, without taking into account conflicts of law. 

If any provision of these TCS or its application to any person or circumstance is judged null and void, this nullity will not concern the other provisions or applications of these TCS, which will remain in force, independently of the provision judged null and void. To this end, the provisions of these TCS are declared stand-alone.

In the event of a dispute arising when interpreting and/or performing these TCS or in relation to these TCS, the User can decide to seek to settle said dispute with the Company through traditional mediation proceedings or any other alternative means of dispute settlement. The User can notably make contact with: MTV Médiation Tourisme Voyage, BP 80 303 - 75 823 Paris Cedex 17 https://www.mtv.travel - https://www.mtv.travel/quand_et_comment_saisir/

-    The request must be founded and lawful

The User can bring the matter before the mediator within a maximum period of one year following the Company’s written claim.

Finally, in the event that this mediation procedure fails or if the User wishes to bring proceedings, the French Code of Civil Procedure will apply.
