Tourist renting a Citroen Ami in France

Tourist renting a Citroen Ami in France - Eiffel Tower Behind Buildings

The tiny Citroen Ami is receiving a lot of attention recently. I am tempted to buy one but renting one in France first would be sensible to check whether we could really live with it. At the very least, it should be a fun vacation activity even if the answer is that we do not want one.

When: no particular time considered yet. We will probably wait for travel to become easier.

Where: two possibilities. A short rental in Paris during a quiet period such as Sunday morning for a little city tour. A longer rental to explore quieter areas of the country.

Me: dual UK / Irish citizen, full UK licence.
