The Secrets of Old Tonnerre: Spies, Knights, and Mysticism (free tour with a Historian)
The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in Russian
Description
Hello, friends! I am Roman, professional Historian! I invite you to a two-hour immersion into the history of one of Burgundy's most mysterious cities.
What we'll visit:
- Fosse Dionne: We'll see a mystical "bottomless" spring. You'll learn Celtic legends about this place and understand why it remains a mystery to scientists.
- Hôtel-Dieu: We'll marvel at the scale of this gigantic 13th-century medieval hospital, an architectural marvel that saved thousands of lives.
- Maison de la Chevalier d'Eon: You'll hear the story of France's most famous spy, who was born here and became famous for his ability to change not only masks but also disguises.
- Panorama of Saint-Pierre: We'll climb to the ancient church to get a bird's-eye view of the city and discuss its rich past.
What makes this tour unique:
I use archival photographs and maps to help you see the city through the eyes of people from bygone eras. At the end of the tour, I'll be happy to suggest the best places to taste the local Épineuil wine.
