What to expect
Download the app before you start, then open it at your chosen departure point. The GPS will direct you to fashion-related locations across central Paris. At each landmark, you'll complete a puzzle or challenge that reveals the history and context—who designed there, what shows happened, why it mattered. The app feeds you information as you solve, so there's no lecture, just discovery. You'll walk 2–4 kilometres total, mostly flat city streets. Take breaks freely; the app saves your progress. Expect to move between haute couture flagship stores, historic ateliers, and boutique-lined side streets.
