Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!

Tour description

The lofty ideals of art and love, so universally associated with Paris, the city of light, are often just that... ideal, but the cruel reality often prevails. It happened to the French capital as well. Murder, magic, occult, mystery, cemeteries, alchemists - all that is very present here, until this very day.

On this tour, you will learn the truth about the man in the iron mask, the Knights Templar's horrific demise, the scary side of the Notre Dame Cathedral, and many more stories touching on the dark side of human nature.

Wrap up well and let the darkness take us on a not so regular, Parisian streets...

Includes:

Mysteries of the Notre-Dame Cathedral
Legend of the Bloody Barber
Public Executions: Town Hall Square
La congerie︎
The tower of Saint Jacques

ℹ️ ⚠️ ATTENTION - booking rules

Please note that our free tours are designed for individual travelers and small private groups only. Hence, we do not accept parties of 8 or more people on regular free tours and guides have the right to deny participation to such groups. If you travel in a party of 8 or more please book a private tour in advance.

If you show up at the meeting point with the bigger group our guide will ask you for the payment (12 eur/person) before the tour or cancel your reservation on the spot. To confirm your reservation please arrive 10 minutes before starting. We can not guarantee participation when you will be late.

Please note that multiply bookings (under different names) for 7 people who belong to one group will still be treated as one organized group and the guide has the right to deny participation to such parties.

This policy is implied in the best interest of our individual visitors.

Please respect our rules.
