The course has three routes, which are called Paris Promenade (known as '''Paris Promenade 1''' between versions 1.2.0 and 1.4.0), '''Paris Promenade 2''' and '''Paris Promenade 3''', with each route debuting in the [[Paris Tour (2019)|2019 Paris Tour]], the [[Valentine's Tour]] (a nod to the city's nickname "the city of love") and the [[Paris Tour (2021)|2021 Paris Tour]], respectively. A battle course version of the course named '''Paris Promenade B''' later debuted in the [[Spring Tour]]. Unlike most city courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'', this course is very compact and is set within a very small area with all three routes overlapping each other significantly, visiting the same landmarks as a result, such as the [[Eiffel Tower]] and the [[Arc de Triomphe]]. Additionally, the second route starts in the opposite direction compared to the other two. | ||

In the T variant, racers can go either left or right around the Arc; the middle path is blocked by barriers on lap 1, but there is a glide ramp at the end of the track which allows racers to glide over the barriers on lap 2. In the R/T variant, racers are directed through the middle of the Arc on both laps, and the Big Piranha Plant is gone. | ||

The first two laps act as a combined version of Paris Promenade 1 and 3 with some aspects of 2, using elements and pathways of all three versions. Players start facing the [[Arc de Triomphe]] and can go around either side of it (like in Paris Promenade 3T), or through the [[wooden cutout]]s of Piranha Plants underneath it using a [[Dash Mushroom]] or [[Super Star]]. After a gradual left, players will take a Glide Ramp over the {{wp|Jardins du Trocadéro}}. Afterwards, the player is given two routes they can choose from. One goes underneath the Eiffel Tower before turning left like in Paris Promenade 1 and 2; the other turns left just before the Tower, then turns right at the {{wp|Luxor Obelisk}}, like in Paris Promenade 3. Both paths lead to a roundabout with a [[Big Piranha Plant]] in the center. Afterward, the path takes after Paris Promenade 3, circling around to the other side of the Luxor Obelisk and turning back towards the starting line. | The first two laps act as a combined version of Paris Promenade 1 and 3 with some aspects of 2, using elements and pathways of all three versions.

In the third lap, the players are forced to turn right by an [[arrow field]] that blocks off the Arc de Triomphe. Instead, they take a path past the {{wp|Saint-Augustin, Paris|Église Saint-Augustin}} like in Paris Promenade 2R, before starting to traverse the course in the opposite direction as the last two laps, similarly to the R variants of the Paris Promenade 1 and 3. Because of this, it is possible to pass by racers still on a previous lap driving in the opposite direction. All of the aforementioned alternate pathways remain the same. However, there is now a Glide Ramp on the other side of the Jardins du Trocadéro, and the one from the first two laps is no longer present. Unlike the first two laps, if racers are hit by an item during the glide and fall into the Jardins, [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] will consider this out of bounds and pick them up. The race ends on the opposite side of the [[Finish Line (object)|start/finish line]] that the race started on. | In the third lap, the players are forced to turn right by an [[arrow field]] that blocks off the Arc de Triomphe.
