  The Detour was a choice between Haute Couture and Plat du Jour. In Haute Couture, teams made their way to the Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, where they had to use the provided tools and materials to cut and sew on the fabric for an Haute Couture dress. If their dress met the satisfaction of a judge, teams would get their next clue. In Plat du Jour, teams traveled to the Marais District and had to search the chalkboards placed outside of cafés for three marked with Race flags. Teams had to purchase the items from these boards and had to memorize how to pronounce them in French. They then had to deliver the food to a waiting couple and say the names correctly to get their next clue.
  For their Speed Bump, Ryan & Rob had to learn how to perform the French folk song "Au clair de la lune" on a pair of accordions and play the song in unison for an audience before they could continue racing.
  In this Roadblock, one team member had to recreate a local modern art painting using Race sponsor Mentos candies, by placing the candies onto a board so that the image matched the painting, to receive their next clue from the artist BasteK.
