What to expect
Download the TouringBee app before you arrive, activate your purchase, and the route appears on your phone's map. You'll walk roughly 2–3 hours' worth of terrain (the 4.5-hour window lets you dawdle). The audio kicks in at each of the 47 stops—architectural details, neighbourhood tales, and suggestions for bakeries or bistros nearby. There's no human guide, so you set the tempo: spend ten minutes at a façade if you like, or skip ahead. Museums and food aren't included, so budget separately for entry fees and eating.
Good to know
Bring a charged phone and headphones. The app works offline once downloaded. Museum tickets (Carnavalet, Picasso) sell out and should be booked in advance. The route doesn't cover all Marais sights—it's curated highlights. Public transport is nearby if legs tire. You can restart the tour anytime within the year.
