Paris Running Tours (PRT) invites you to discover the sights and sounds of Paris, so lace up your sneakers and get ready to experience the richness of this city's architecture and history.
If you are not sure what you want to see, we will take you to see various sites on one of our standard tours. All standard tours are 10Km. All tours start and end at Alma except Paris North which starts at Alma but ends at Abbesses Metro.
We start at the Louvre and do our best to recreate the first night of the book , visiting the American Embassy and Consulate, Saint-Sulpice and the Rose Line among other landmarks.
Arc de Triomphe and Étoile, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Place de la Concorde, La Madeleine, Place Vendôme, Palais Garnier (Opéra), Moulin Rouge and Pigalle, Sacre Cœur and Montmartre.
The Louvre, Place de la Concorde, Notre Dame and Île de la Cité
École Militaire Invalides Tour Eiffel and Champs de Mars, Trocadéro and Avenue des Champs-Élysées
You can choose your route. Maybe you have a particular interest in WWII - we can customize the sights you'll see to include narration on specific locations with significant impor- tance to the events surrounding the liberation of Paris. If you're an architectural aficionado, we can concentrate on the different building styles used throughout the city, the reason for these designs and the city planning behind them. Litera- ture buffs especially appreciate our guided tours as so many of their favourite novels are set in Paris.
We offer these tours every day of the week, rain or shine. Our more popular times are 7 and 8 AM as the streets aren’t crowded yet and our clients still have time to return to their hotels and clean up before a busy day at the office. However, we can do these tours any time during the day.
Once we meet you at your hotel or other pre-determined location, we will run, at your pace, to the various sites that you want to see.
Popular choices are:
Arc de Triomphe and Étoile Avenue des Champs-Élysées Bastille Bourse Centre Pompidou and Châtelet École Militaire Grande Arche and La Défense Hôtel de Ville Invalides Jardin des Tuileries Luxembourg Garden La Madeleine Moulin Rouge and Pigalle Montparnasse Musée d'Orsay
Notre Dame and Île de la Cité Palais Garnier (Opéra) Palais-Royal Musee du Louvre Parc Monceau The Panthéon Père Lachaise Place de la Concorde Place des Vosges and the Marais Place Vendôme Sacre Cœur and Montmartre The Sorbonne and the Latin Quarter Tour Eiffel and Champs de Mars Trocadéro
Although central Paris is much smaller than London or New York, it is not possible to see all of these sights in one 10K tour.
The pricing is for one runner per tour. Each additional runner on the tour will be charged half the price of the previous runner, so for two runners, a standard tour is €75 and three runners is €87.50 total. Each tour is approximately 10
kilometers (6 miles).
Payment can be made through PayPal (no account needed) but may be possible via your hotel. For PayPal, we will send you an email with a link after confirming the tour details.
All cancelations must be made 24 hours prior to the scheduled tour time. Refunds will be less PayPal charges, if applicable. There will be no refunds for no-shows or late cancellations.
The activity will be held rain or shine. However, under severe or unsafe conditions, PRT may decide to cancel a tour. In this case, clients will receive a total refund.
