About

Follow Paris is a self-guided exploration experience that transforms a walk through Paris into an interactive adventure for families. Rather than following a tour guide, families use a kit, app, or printed materials to navigate the city on their own terms, discovering hidden details, solving challenges, and learning about Parisian history through an engaging format designed for active participation. The self-directed format is ideal for families who prefer flexibility — you move at your own pace, stop when you want, and are not locked into a group schedule.

Kids take ownership of the navigation and clue-solving, which keeps them genuinely invested in moving from point to point. The experience works best for children who can read and engage with puzzle-style thinking, making it a strong fit for ages six and up. The route passes through real Paris streets and landmarks, so families absorb the city atmosphere naturally while focused on the game.

It is a smart way to cover significant ground in Paris without the kids realizing how much walking they are doing. Families with mixed ages can share responsibilities — older kids handle harder clues while younger ones spot landmarks and details. The experience is best on clear days since the route is primarily outdoors.

Check the format (app-based or printed kit) before purchasing so you know whether you need a downloaded app or physical materials prepared in advance.
