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 its debut in the city's namesake tour, the 2019 Paris Tour. The course visits various landmarks of the city it is based on, including a section where racers get to glide to the Eiffel Tower and then drive under it.

The course is a favorite of Cat Peach, Peach (Vacation), Mario (Santa), Luigi (Classic), Cat Luigi, Waluigi (Bus Driver), and the Cat Mii Racing Suit.

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

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

The course begins at a road facing the Arc de Triomphe. One bypass road for the Arc appears on the left side. 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.

Shortcuts

Players can go through the Arc de Triomphe by breaking through two Piranha Plant wooden cutouts with the use of a Dash Mushroom or with any offensive item. This shortcut is shared with Paris Promenade 3.
