What to expect
You'll move through Paris' trendier quarters at your own rhythm, pausing where the light hits right. The audio guide points out composition angles and explains why each spot matters—architectural quirks, cultural history, which cafés serve the dishes worth shooting. Expect cobbled streets, crowds at famous corners, and the occasional need to wait for the right moment. The GPS keeps you honest when Paris' lanes twist unexpectedly. Roughly 70 minutes of walking, broken into digestible chunks you can spread across a morning or afternoon.
