Paris, Night Walking Tour, Private, The Dark Side of the City of Lights

Paris is a city steeped in history, much of it glorious and glittering. Yet, as in every major city, there is a sombre side to its past that cannot be ignored, and which played an integral part in shaping the city as we see it today.

On this 2 hour walking tour you will hear stories of brutal massacres, executions and assassinations. Of plotting, revolution, prison and torture. Of Kinghts Templars burnt to death and curses thrown down on kings. Learn of the mysterious body of a young girl in the Seine river, the ghost of the Tuileries Gardens who was said to terrify queens, the butcher who made pies from students killed by the neighbouring barber, and the legend of the ghostly forging in the night of the great doors of Notre Dame Cathedral.

An expert local guide will take you on a journey into the obscure heart of Paris, as you discover the fascinating shadowy side of the City of Lights.
