Tour description

In this different tour through the historic center of Paris , we will learn emblematic legends of the city , as well as its hidden and darker history. Always accompanied by a note of humor. Because not everything can be blood and heads rolling.

We will start on the Ile de la Cité , and next to the Notre-Dame Cathedral we will tell the legendary origin of the Parisian gargoyles and the story of its most mysterious door.
Next, we'll get more bloody and talk about a somewhat macabre undertaking .
We will review the history of the Catacombs and a famous Alchemist , accompanied by the spectacular view of the Gothic tower of Saint-Jacques.
All this to end in front of the also impressive Hôtel de Ville , in whose square public executions were carried out for centuries. Including of course, the first use of the National Knife .

I wait for you in this different tour of Paris.
