Paris Promenade 3 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Paris, France, and is the third layout of the overall Paris Promenade course. It made its debut in the city’s namesake tour, the 2021 Paris Tour. Compared to the previous two layouts, this course lets racers only go near the Eiffel Tower instead of under it, as well as making racers drive on the Jardins du Trocadéro instead of gliding over it.

The course is a favorite of Yellow Toad (Pit Crew), Cat Toad, White Yoshi, Rosalina (Halloween), Peach (Halloween), Luigi (Painter), Cat Rosalina, Dr. Luigi, and the Peach and Birdo Mii Racing Suits.

The course also appears as Paris Promenade 3R (reverse), Paris Promenade 3T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade 3R/T (reverse and with ramps).

Elements of this course's layout appear in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass' version of Paris Promenade.

relation to its other layouts

The course starts at the Arc de Triomphe, just like Paris Promenade. Unlike that course, racers make a right curve around the Arc before then turning to the left, as in Paris Promenade. The path continues in much the same way until the Eiffel Tower, where players take a regular Ramp instead of a Glide Ramp and make a left turn rather than drive through the tower, making this the only Paris course to have this distinction. Racers then drive towards the Luxor Obelisk before making a right turn to a Big Piranha Plant, where racers then drive to the left as they would in Paris Promenade 2. However, the racers are cut off from driving back to the Arc de Triomphe as the path takes them back to the Luxor Obelisk before a final right turn to the Finish Line.
