BEST PUBLIC BUS ROUTES FOR SIGHTSEEING

The 69 is especially popular with Americans, as the US travel writer Rick Steves promotes it in his ubiquitous blue-and-yellow books. Steves picked well, as the 69 hits almost all of the big tourist spots. Take it from Père Lachaise and look for the Bastille and the Louvre before crossings the river to St-Germain. You’ll get a glimpse of the Invalides, a view of the Eiffel Tower at the Champ de Mars, then back to Right Bank where you can get off by Notre Dame for a quick visit.
