Hello! I'm Fabien, I was born and raised in Paris and I don't think I will ever get tired of that beautiful city. I studied graphic arts and art history and trained as a professional cartoonist. I travel a lot and I'm happy to meet new people who are as curious as I am! My free time is practicing my instruments (guitar and piano) and theater and cinema occupy all my weekends.

Tour description

Tales and Legends of Paris, l'Ile de la Cité

Are you ready to venture into the winding streets of old-world Paris?

This Second Edition will take place exclusively on the City Island where numerous incredible Legends were born in the streets surrounding the most famous cathedral in the world: Notre Dame!

Always with a background music selected for each story, we will get into the mood from the first step!

Stories, legends or proven facts...

I will tell you about the macabre story of a pastry chef who became famous for the wrong reasons, the legend of a monk for whom people prayed to never meet him..., the true story of the passionate love of The Damned Lovers, the place of execution of the Last Templars and I will reveal to you the terrible secret of Notre Dame...

Some of those stories are really gruesome, I've warned you... you can't tell me you didn't know that.

So... Do you dare?

What monuments will we see?

- The concierge
- The park of Vert Galant
- The narrowest street in Paris
