Tour description

We will begin our tour in front of the Palace of Justice, next to the gates of the old city prison, gates that appeared in the nightmares of many Parisians during Robespierre's Reign of Terror .

In front of the cathedral walls we will hear the echoes of the curse that the last Templar launched at the Capetian dynasty, and we will leave behind the macabre spectacle of his death to discover the secrets that Victor Hugo left in writing in his great work " Notre-Dame de Paris ".

We will walk down the street of the most famous murderers in Paris to learn about their macabre business and their deserved end.

We will tell you about the massacre of innocent and not-so-innocent people that filled the river with blood with the ringing of the bells and we will learn about the macabre and morbid tastes of 19th-century Parisian society .

A tour of the city center to learn about the history of Paris through the legends and tales of its past.
