Which real-world city inspired the Paris Promenade course in Mario Kart Tour?

The story behind the answer

Paris Promenade in Mario Kart Tour is inspired by Paris, France.

The course turns famous Paris landmarks into a colorful Mario Kart route. Racers pass the Arc de Triomphe, travel near the Eiffel Tower, and encounter scenery evoking the Trocadéro gardens and the Luxor Obelisk. Its name directly signals the real-world setting.

Paris Promenade debuted in the 2019 Paris Tour, one of Mario Kart Tour’s city courses based on recognizable locations around the world. The course later received additional layouts, including Paris Promenade 2 and Paris Promenade 3, which changed the route and landmark sequence.

A common mix-up is confusing the course with other city tracks from Mario Kart Tour, such as London Loop, Tokyo Blur, Amsterdam Drift, Berlin Byways, and Rome Avanti. Paris Promenade also returned in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass, where its laps combine elements from the Tour variants.
