Built by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Exposition Universelle on the Champ de Mars, the Eiffel Tower is Paris's most iconic wrought-iron landmark, soaring 330 meters over the Seine with multi-level observation decks offering panoramic views of the city.

Spanning the Seine to connect the Champs-Élysées quarter with Les Invalides, the Beaux-Arts Pont Alexandre III is celebrated as Paris's most ornate bridge, famed for its extravagant gilded statues, Art Nouveau lamp posts, and low-slung single-span steel arch.

The Louvre Museum is a majestic former royal palace that houses thousands of years of human history, from ancient civilizations to the world's most famous Renaissance masterpieces.

Occupying much of the medieval Palais de la Cité on the Île de la Cité alongside Sainte-Chapelle and the Conciergerie, the monumental neoclassical Palais de Justice serves as the historic judicial heart of France, housing the Court of Appeal and the Court of Cassation.

Notre Dame Cathedral is a majestic Gothic masterpiece on the Île de la Cité where stunning rose windows and flying buttresses stand as a timeless symbol of Parisian history and resilience.

Absolutely. While you can work together as one team, larger groups often split into smaller units to see who can solve the mysteries of Paris the fastest. It’s a fantastic way to add a competitive “Play” element to your sightseeing—winner gets to pick the best spot for an evening of cheese and wine in the Latin Quarter!

En lisant le descriptif et les commentaires, je pensais qu’il fallait découvrir le lieu suivant en résolvant l’énigme. En réalité, tous les lieux que nous allons voir apparaissent dès le début. C’est vraiment décevant. On n’a plus l’effet de surprise. Les énigmes sont simples mais intéressantes. L’itinéraire entre chaque point est bien indiqué. J’aurai plaisir à découvrir cette activité sur d’autres villes.

Super activité qui permet de découvrir Paris sans devoir organiser le parcours à l’avance. Les énigmes permettent de s’attarder davantage sur les points de passage, même s’il est parfois plus difficile de comprendre l’énigme que d’y répondre ! On peut faire des pauses et changer d’itinéraire pour reprendre le parcours plus tard. Pour 2 personnes, 1 téléphone suffit.

Schöne Tour durch Paris über Sehenswürdigkeiten, die wir nach drei Tagen noch nicht alle gesehen bzw. wahrgenommen hatten. Nicht alle Beschreibungen waren korrekt (eine Brücke hatte keine Statuen, die im Text aber genannt wurden). Die Vorlesestimme war nicht erträglich (viiiiel zu langsam). Die Kinder hatten aber Spass abwechselnd zu lesen, daher nicht so schlimm.

Ich habe die App genutzt um spontan einen Stadtrundgang durch Paris zu finden ohne mich vorher vorzubereiten oder einen Reiseführer zu benutzen. Dies gelang gut und das Spiel selbst hat auch Spaß gemacht. Allerdings mussten wir den Weg von Station zu Station selber googlen über Maps, da keine Wegbeschreibung zum nächsten Ziel integriert ist. Daher nur 4 statt 5 Sterne.
