The route, as you'll walk it
What each stop teases here, the narrator tells in full in your ear. Hover a stop to place it on the plan.
- 01
Notre-Dame de Paris
A cathedral built over nearly two centuries, burned in twenty nineteen, and reopened to the world in twenty twenty-four.
- 02
Sainte-Chapelle
Louis the Ninth paid more for the relics than for the entire chapel built to house them.
- 03
Place Dauphine
A triangular square named for a royal heir, built on what were once muddy river islands.
- 04
Pont Neuf
Paris's oldest bridge has been called the New Bridge for over four centuries — and the name has never quite fitted.
- 05
The Louvre
A medieval fortress, a royal palace, a revolutionary act — the Louvre has been all three before becoming the world's most visited museum.
- 06
Palais-Royal
A cardinal's private palace, a revolutionary flashpoint, and a noon cannon that still fires today.
- 07
Tuileries Garden
The garden between the Louvre and the Place de la Concorde has been shaped by queens, revolutionaries, and emperors across five centuries.
- 08
Place de la Concorde
The square where a king, a queen, and the revolution's own leaders were all guillotined.

Questions about the Paris walk
How long is the Paris walk, and how far?
8 stops from Notre-Dame de Paris to Place de la Concorde, about 3.4 km — about 2 hours at an easy pace, roughly 48 minutes of it actually walking between stops. Go slower or faster; the walk waits for you.
Do I need to book or start at a set time?
No. It's self-guided — no group, no guide, no fixed departure. Start the Paris walk whenever you like, from wherever you are on the route.
Can I pause the Paris walk and pick it up later?
Yes. Pause to linger or break for lunch and Trove remembers where you stopped, so you carry on from the same stop.
Do I need to download an app?
No. Trove runs in your phone's browser — nothing to install. Sign in, save the Paris walk, and each story plays as you reach the stop.
Full narration at all 8 stops, no card required — the whole walk, not a sample, and the interiors along it are free too.
