X = X Marks the Spot in Paris

Whether you're a seasoned visitor to Paris or on your first visit, the Paris Mystery Tour will show you Paris in a way like no other.

(image via HERE)

Crack the clues, guide yourself around this great city and expect to discover something new both on and off the beaten track.

A Mystery Tour is a self-guided journey around an area of a tourist city where the route you take depends on your answers to a set of clues, questions and puzzles that can be tackled in any order.

There's no tour bus, no tour guide and no headphones. Instead, they supply you with a map and a series of conundrums that send you on a journey of discovery of a city's past and present.


It's a fun way to get your bearings, see major sights, discover hidden corners, pick up interesting facts along the way and start to get a flavour of the history, architecture and people of Paris.

The information in this post is via X Marks the Spot... I've never taken this tour, but it sounds INTERESTING!!!  Sorry no paintings today... still bizeeeeeee doing commissioned paintings and working on the last to days of this A to Z Challenge... "Y" and "Z" in Paris will be PARTY DAYS come back with your fancy frocks!!!

I'm adventurous but love sitting on a bus/mini van and having my feet up and someone on the mic feeling my head with knowledge.

Have a beautiful day, Fifi dear!

Hi Fifi, this looks like a fun way to see a city! I'll have to remember to bring some chic walking shoes as I pound the streets of Paris!

Have a great day, Bonnie

PS - I've loved following along your A-Z challenge!

Oh Fifi ma belle,

I am at school today, so I can't do my sidebar just yet, but thanks again for the permission to put your link up. I am going to make it a sort of "art gallery" and feature you and someother artists are well. I have a question...on your header, the furthest image with the Eiffel tower and the pink tree...I would love to use that image for the link. Where do I find that image?

If you can, email me at:

rivani@bethel.edu

All your work is exquisite and it is hard to choose one, but that one particularly captures me! Just a thought. Bonne journee!

This is great seeing where everything is on a compact map. I cant believe how big Paris is. For some reason I have always pictured it much much smaller.

Wanda said...

Sounds interesting but for someone who's directionally challenge, I think I prefer a tour guide.

I would go anywhere in Paris. No mystery needed! Thanks for stopping by to see us Fifi. Hope all's well with you! -- Jane F.

Bonjour Fifi,

Hugs

In my younger days this would have probably suited me more. Now if I ever went I guess I'd want a guide to take me by the hand and lead me around. But then again......
