Paris Le Marais Self-Guided Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt

About this experience

Paris Le Marais Self-Guided Walking Tour and Scavenger Hunt is a self-paced walking experience in Paris that combines a neighbourhood route through Le Marais with an interactive scavenger hunt played through the Explorial app on any iOS or Android smartphone. The tour starts at Place du Châtelet, a square close to the Seine that marks the transition from the riverfront into the historic streets of Le Marais, one of the oldest and best-preserved quarters in Paris. There is no fixed start time, so participants can begin whenever suits them and set their own pace throughout. From Place du Châtelet, the route follows the river before heading into Le Marais, passing landmarks such as the Hôtel de Sens, a rare surviving medieval mansion in the city. Along the way, the Explorial app delivers riddles, trivia challenges, and photo tasks tied to the locations on the route. A live map with marked stops and a real-time location display keeps navigation straightforward without requiring a guide. Tickets cover access to the game code, which is sent by text and in-app message after booking and unlocks the full route and all in-app content. The app itself is a free download, and the experience is valid on any day, making it straightforward to fit around a broader Paris itinerary.
