Itinerary
We will meet at Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois. Please head to the church entrance outside the gates and look out for your tour guide holding a green “Side Routes” sign.
This Gothic church is infamous for its alleged role in the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre. Legend claims its bell tower sounded the deadly signal that unleashed the massacre across Paris in 1572.
Paris’s oldest standing bridge, once filled with criminals, performers, and eerie stories from the city’s darker past.
A former royal palace turned prison during the French Revolution, where thousands awaited execution, including Marie Antoinette.
Located in one of Paris’s oldest districts, this area carries haunting stories connected to executions, disappearances, and dark medieval legends.
This isolated Gothic tower is linked to tales of alchemy, Nicolas Flamel, and mysterious sightings that fueled centuries of supernatural rumors.
A narrow medieval street associated with the horrifying legend of the murderous barber and pie maker who allegedly served human meat to unsuspecting customers.
Hidden beside Notre Dame, this quiet historic street is filled with old Parisian folklore, ghost stories, and lingering tales from medieval Paris.
The tour concludes at the iconic cathedral, home to the legendary “Devil’s Doors” and centuries of myths surrounding curses, gargoyles, and dark bargains.

About Paris
Paris pairs grand boulevards and riverside monuments with café terraces, art collections of global stature and neighbourhoods that feel like villages.
The Seine runs through the heart of the city, past the Île de la Cité with Notre-Dame and the Sainte-Chapelle, the long façade of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay in its former railway station. Downriver, the Eiffel Tower rises over the Champ de Mars, and the Arc de Triomphe crowns the Champs-Élysées.
