Explore Paris’s darker chapters amid narrow lanes and Gothic stone. Stand inside the shadow of La Conciergerie, trace executions at Place de Greve beside Hotel de Ville, and uncover the fate of the overflowing Les Innocents Cemetery. Wander Rue Chanoinesse’s legends, step into Sainte Chapelle’s otherworldly light, and follow clues through squares and churches where crimes, curiosities, and echoes of the past still stir along the Seine.
Highlights
La Conciergerie — medieval palace turned prison; court records, cold cells, and a queen awaiting dawn.
Sainte Chapelle — walls of stained glass; sacred relics, hidden attics, and a chapel that survived upheaval.
Place Dauphine — quiet triangular square; duels at daybreak and plots whispered behind plane trees.
Hotel de Ville — city hall on restless ground; uprisings, fires, and rebirth on the same stone.
Place de Greve — the riverfront scaffold; crowds, condemnations, and the spectacle Paris never forgot.
Eglise Saint Severin — Gothic aisles and a twisting pillar; midnight bells and stories that linger in the nave.
Rue Chanoinesse — canons street with dark lore; a butcher’s tale and legends that shadow the cobbles.
Les Innocents Cemetery — overflowing graves and charnel houses; how a city of bones moved to the catacombs.
All this, plus additional "hidden gems," expertly brought to life through our virtual guides....with rich, vivid history, local stories, and unmatched knowledge you will not find elsewhere. Even better, no tipping required!
