Picking its way through Montmatre is East Lancs Cabryolet bodied Volvo open topper 05 (831MJR75) in Auguust 2006. Whilst L'OpenTour's buses are a vivid green, rather than the usual City Sightseeing red, the operation is franchised. City Sightseeing logos are on the bus front near the doors. Gray Line logos are also worn above the driver cab.

When the L'OpenTour operation expanded, rather than acquiring more East Lancs Volvos a batch of Neoplan Centroliners - three axle versions are also found in large numbers in Hong Kong - were chosen. 23 (608NPY75) is seen at the Louvre. Not visible is its all over advert, which is not continued around the front of the bus to keep its distinctive lime livery in the customers' eye and distinct from that of rivals Les Cars Rouges.
