Paris Promenade 2 is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is named after and inspired by Paris, France and made its debut as the featured course of the Valentine's Tour. This is due to the city's reputation of being called "The City of Love". The course also appears as Paris Promenade 2R (reverse), Paris Promenade 2T (with ramps), and Paris Promenade 2R/T (reverse and with ramps). It is a favorite course of Black Yoshi, Bowser Jr. (Pirate), Baby Peach (Cherub), Baby Rosalina (Detective), Mario (Chef), Mario (Aviator), Rosalina (Chef), and the Birdo and Cat Mii Racing Suits. It is also a favorite of Cat Toad if he reaches level 3.

Elements of the layout from this version of the course appear in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass' version of Paris Promenade - particularly on the final lap, where racers turn around and drive through the course in the opposite direction like in this variation.

Course layout

In the standard layout, the racers start the course in a street facing the Luxor Obelisk instead of the Arc de Triomphe like in Paris Promenade. On Place de la Concorde, a street on the right leads to the Eiffel Tower. Players can see on the right the Pont d'Iéna and a bateau-mouche on the Seine. The street then turns left, and goes underneath the Eiffel Tower, where some Goombas reside. Players can see the Cathedral of Notre Dame in the background. Afterwards, racers must make a sharp left leading to a roundabout with a Big Piranha Plant in the center. After passing through a part of the Louvre, players have a view of Sacré-Cœur in the background, as well as Opéra Garnier and La Madeleine along the large left turn. Then, another left turn in front of the Église Saint-Augustin leads to the Arc de Triomphe, which racers get around to reach the finish line.
