Paris welcomed its first amphibious bus that drives along the city streets and can convert instantly into a pleasure boat
Welcome to one of the French capital's newest tourist attractions: an amphibious bus that drives along the city streets, and then converts instantly into a river-going pleasure boat.
Amphibious tour buses -- commonly known as ducks -- have been used for years to ferry tourists around other cities in the world. They are often modified military sea-borne assault craft. Some have made headlines by sinking, or catching fire.An amphibious bus named Marcel le Canard sails down the Seine river during a tour around Paris, in Sevres near Paris, France, August 25, 2021.
