We will begin to discover the most amazing stories by meeting at the indicated time in front of the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral in Strasbourg.
What are the main legends that revolve around its Gothic façade and its construction? We will know all the stories of demons that circulate in this construction finished in the XV century.
Continuing our way we will go to the Kléber square, where Frau Troffea will be our next protagonist. This woman, who lived in Strasbourg at the time of the Holy Roman Empire, began to dance wildly one day. Many citizens began to follow suit, but nearly 400 died of heart attacks, strokes, or simple exhaustion. It is the so-called dance fever of 1518.
What could have motivated this tragedy? After investigating its possible causes, we will continue our free night tour of Strasbourg next to the iconic Covered Bridges. There we will learn about the cruel punishments that, between the 13th and 17th centuries, were imposed on people suspected of practicing pagan activities or witchcraft.
We will continue the tour walking through the Petite France neighborhood, in whose streets we will learn disturbing stories of ghosts and murders.
Finally, after two hours of walking, we will conclude the visit in the Barrage Vauban where we will discover what were the macabre projects that Adolf Hitler 's regime devised at the Reich University during the Nazi occupation of Strasbourg.

Free tours do not have a set price, instead, each person gives the guru at the end of the tour the amount that he or she considers appropriate (these usually range from €10 to $50 depending on satisfaction with the tour).
