Paris Promenade (referred to as Paris Promenade 1 from version 1.2.0 to 1.4.0) is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Paris, France, and makes it debut in the city's namesake tour, the 2019 Paris Tour. The course also appears as Paris Promenade R (reversed), Paris Promenade T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade R/T (reversed and with ramps). The course is a favorite of Cat Peach, Peach (Vacation), Mario (Santa), Luigi (Classic), and Waluigi (Bus Driver).
In the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Paris Promenade returns as the first course of the Golden Dash Cup.[1] This version of the course incorporates paths from Paris Promenade 3 and, on the final lap, Paris Promenade 2.

Course layout
The course begins at a road facing the Arc de Triomphe. One bypass road for the Arc appears on the left side, though the player can also use a shortcut inside the Arc by breaking through two Piranha Plant wooden cutouts. After a gradual left, the player encounters a Glide Ramp that sends them over the Jardins du Trocadéro and underneath the Eiffel Tower, where some Goombas reside. Afterwards, the player must make a sharp left, followed by another left next to a Big Piranha Plant and a bypass of the Luxor Obelisk leading to the finish line.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Paris Promenade makes its console debut in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe via the Booster Course Pass. It is the first course of the Golden Dash Cup, and as such was added in the first wave of the DLC.
This version of Paris Promenade combines elements of Paris Promenade, 2, and 3 from Mario Kart Tour. In the first two laps, the player is able to go around the Arc de Triomphe from either the left like in Paris Promenade, the right like in Paris Promenade 3, or go through the center like in both. After the gliding section, the player can choose to either go underneath the Eiffel Tower like in Paris Promenade or go left around it like in Paris Promenade 3. However, unlike Paris Promenade 3, the Jardins du Trocadéro cannot be driven on normally due to the gliding ramp before it. However, if the player is hit with an item, such as a Red Shell or Lightning, midflight, they will be thrown onto it, which they will be able to drive through to the tower (this does not apply to the third lap, as Lakitu will forcibly move the player back to the track if they are thrown into the Jardins du Trocadéro by an item). In the third lap, the players are forced to turn right by an arrow field that blocks off the path taken on the first two laps at the Arc de Triomphe, to a path only taken in Paris Promenade 2 R and R/T, and will begin traversing the stage backwards. Because of this, it is possible to pass by racers still on a previous lap driving in the opposite direction, similar to GCN Luigi Circuit. The aforementioned alternate pathways remain the same. The minimap has been rotated 90 degrees compared to the equivalent Paris Promenade minimaps in Tour. The pipes and Goombas under the Eiffel Tower have been replaced by a Dash Panel.[2]
Paris Promenade is one of three courses to originate from Mario Kart Tour to appear in the first wave of the DLC, alongside Tokyo Blur and Ninja Hideaway.

Trivia
- Paris Promenade is one of two courses in the series to have its music be in 3/4 time, the other being DS Peach Gardens.
- It is one of three courses in the series as a whole to not have music in 4/4 time, alongside Peach Gardens and Wild Woods, the latter of which is in 5/4 time.
- In a trailer posted to promote the release of Wave 1 of the Booster Course Pass, the glide ramp before the Eiffel Tower is replaced by a generic ramp (similar to Paris Promenade 3), but still functions like a glide ramp.[4]
