During the chosen period, you can get on a Hop-On Hop-Off bus as many times as you want and explore Paris.
Although when making the reservation, you'll be asked for a start date, you can use the service over the two weeks following the start date. When you have made your reservation, we'll send you a voucher you must hand in on the first bus you get on.
