Description

Step into the darker side of Paris on a guided evening walking tour. Retrace the terrifying events that shaped the city’s history and uncover the chilling legends that still haunt the “City of Lights.” Choose from a shared group experience or a private tour tailored just for you.

Begin at the infamous site once used for gruesome public executions, where your guide will reveal the brutal punishments dealt to criminals—and sometimes the innocent.

From there, delve into the city’s paranormal past. Hear spine-tingling stories of apparitions, including the ghost of a celebrated French poet said to linger in a theater, and the phantom of the Opera House, believed to be a victim of a devastating fire.

Encounter Paris’s demons and sinister figures carved into stone at Notre Dame Cathedral, while your guide deciphers the mysterious symbols and ominous signs scattered throughout the city.

Finally, uncover the story of one of Paris’s most cursed places before your night concludes back at the meeting point, with a haunting tale of a vampire to leave you looking over your shoulder.
