About this tour
Work your way along the Seine solving puzzles and riddles that lead you from the Louvre's grand courtyard to the Eiffel Tower's base. This self-guided treasure hunt stretches across 2.5 hours and mixes cultural trivia with playful detective work, designed for families, mates, or corporate groups who want to explore central Paris on their own terms without a guide's script.

What to expect
You'll receive a booklet packed with riddles, a marked map, and cultural snippets about the sights you pass. Set off from the Louvre and follow clues that guide you westward along the riverside, stopping at landmarks to decode the next leg of your journey. The game runs for up to three hours, so pace yourself—breaks are fine, just account for lost time. Kids aged 8+ tend to stay engaged; younger ones can ride along in a stroller without needing to solve puzzles themselves. Staff are stationed at key points if you hit a wall.
Good to know
Available in English and French. Bring comfortable shoes; you'll be on foot for kilometres. Public transport is nearby if you need to bail out early. The hunt wraps automatically after three hours wherever you are, so don't stress about completing every clue if time runs short.
