But ... what about the Paris we don't see? The one that doesn't shine? The one that seems to hide? The streets and monuments of Paris keep hidden stories, welcome strange characters and still keep alive legends that, in the City of Light, found their place in the shade. It is precisely those shadows that we are pursuing in this alternative Tour. Our guides know these mysteries and these legends on this tour "Paris de Leyenda", are waiting for you to tell them all. Do you dare to approach the history of the barber and the pastry chef? Of them, in addition to a macabre story, there were films like "Sweeney Todd, the devilish barber of Fleet Street." Would you look for the owners of the bones of the Catacombs of Paris? . Nor would it be fair to say that all legends are bathed in blood.

ITINERARY OF THE FREE TOUR PARIS OF LEGEND On this occasion our history begins in the same place where the history of Paris began, in the Illé de la Cité . Here the first inhabitants of Paris, the Parisi, built the first settlements, from here they fought the Roman invasions and this was the place where a complex and fascinating history of centuries and cultures began to be woven. We will walk through the Concergerie, the fearsome prison that produced so much fear in Paris with just his name, especially (remember that this is a tour in search of the legends and the bloodiest stories of the city) in the Tower of “Good Peak". Without leaving the neighborhood we will go to Chamoinesse street and, in the shadow of the Notre Dame Cathedral, our guides will face two of the legends without which you cannot leave Paris: the legend of the barber and the macabre pastry chef and the tragic love story from Heloise and Pierre-Abelard. On the right of the Seine River, we will arrive at the town hall square to meet here with the history of the guillotine, the executioners and that fear of the Revolution. We have all the courage to go to the entrance of the Louvre and there to hear and know the history that triggered and enlivened the massacre of St. Bartholomew. In the middle of the story, the legend and the miracle, do not cease to marvel at the Church of Saint-Germain de l'Auxerrois. Not far away we will discover where the "Well of Love" was and what was the reason for its popularity ... The tour progresses, we continue to discover the legends and now we reach the rue de la Ferronerie, where we will talk about King Henry IV and, specifically, the regicide that ended the life of this king so dear to the French. We will return knowing what the origin of the Catacombs was, this will be told by our guides in the Plaza de los Inocentes. And at the end of this free tour "Paris de Leyenda", the last stop of our alternative visit to Paris, what is short?, Is in Georges Pompidou Center. From him we will know not only the controversy of its construction but also the most improbable works that are inside. The guides, depending on the weather conditions, or by imponderables that make them necessary for the proper development of the visit, may vary this itinerary.
