Paris Promenade 2 is one of the three layouts of Paris Promenade. As its name implies, it is the second layout, appearing first in 2020 in the Valentine's Tour of that year. The course's inclusion could reference how Paris is often referred to as "the city of love."
Layout[]
Paris Promenade 2's layout starts on the central path, facing east, and focuses more on the northern half of the city (in contrast to how Paris Promenade 1 focused on the southern half). After the racers start, they turn right at the roundabout with the Luxor Obelisk to take the southern exit onto the mid-east path. They turn left at the southern terminus of the mid-east path, heading east along the south path beneath the Eiffel Tower and then turning left at that path's eastern terminus to fallow the far east path to the north. This transitions into the north path following the roundabout at the far east of the city with a left turn. Another left turn leads back to the roundabout that bears the Arc de Triomphe, where the racers make another left turn to get back to the finish line.
In the Booster Course Pass, the racers continue north on the far east path for the first lap of Paris Promenade, effectively "switching" to this route from Paris Promenade 1 at the Eiffel Tower, though they take the next left just like they do in Paris Promenade 3 to head back south and return to the Luxor Obelisk from the north, turning right and going out the west exit to get back to the start/finish line. Lap 3 starts with this route being traversed in reverse, though when the racers get back to the roundabout at the far east, they have the option to traverse Paris Promenade 3 in reverse instead, but both paths meet back up to the west of the Eiffel Tower, and the racers continue west on the south path and go down Paris Promenade 1 in reverse.
