The Paris scavenger hunt starts at the Eiffel Tower and follows the Seine past the Pont de l’Alma and Pont Alexandre III to the Petit Palais. From Place de la Concorde it continues along the Right Bank to the Louvre.
On the Left Bank you visit Saint-Germain-des-Prés, then cross the Pont Neuf to the Conciergerie and finally Notre-Dame. The walk covers about 6.2 km, roughly 77 minutes. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, and no entry tickets are needed.
This route strings together the classic sights of Paris on both banks of the Seine. The Eiffel Tower was built for the 1889 World’s Fair, the Grand Palais and Pont Alexandre III for the 1900 Exposition, and the Louvre was a royal palace before it became a museum. The Pont Neuf is the oldest standing bridge in Paris, and Sainte-Chapelle is known for its 13th-century stained glass.
A game turns a long walk into a story you follow: each riddle makes you look closely at statues, bridges and façades, and the stories explain what you just saw. You can break for lunch or split the route over two days.
The Paris scavenger hunt takes about 3 hours. It includes about 77 minutes (6.2 km) of actual walking from the Eiffel Tower to Notre-Dame; the rest is solving riddles and listening to stories. You can pause at any time and continue later or on another day.
It starts at the Eiffel Tower and finishes at Notre-Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité. In the app you can choose a different starting stop or change the order, for example to begin near your hotel.
