About this tour
Navigate the Marais on foot using puzzle-based clues that direct you between landmark locations across two hours. Rather than following a guide, you'll work through riddles via smartphone app to uncover the district's architecture, history, and lesser-known corners. The route combines the logic of a treasure hunt with genuine sightseeing, letting you pause and explore whenever something catches your eye. Available in four languages.

What to expect
You'll receive clues on your phone that present a puzzle pointing toward your next destination. Solve it, walk there at your own tempo, and once you arrive, unlock the next clue. The route covers key Marais sights but rewards you for noticing details—architectural features, plaques, storefronts—that typical visitors miss. Expect to cover roughly 3–4 kilometres on flat streets. Pace depends entirely on you: slow down for a café, linger in a courtyard, or move briskly through quieter sections.
