Haunted Paris Tour

22€ per person

Over the course of a 1 and a half hour walking tour, we will discover the historic heart of the city with your expert, accredited guide. Paris is known as the City of Light, but we will instead focus on the dark side while exploring areas of the city rarely seen by Parisians.

There will be several ghost stories, including the famous ghosts of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Hear the story of the bizarre ghost of a famous writer with his bizarre pet who haunts a spectacular theater.

We will also visit places of true crime such as the famous Demon Barber of Paris (the real inspiration for Sweeney Todd).

In the shadows of the impressive and imposing Conciergerie, you will hear about the Reign of Terror and the imprisonment and beheading of Queen Marie Antoinette.

You will have the chance to stand on the spot where a French king was assassinated and hear the unbelievable story behind it.

You will get to stand on some of the most blood soaked ground in Paris where, for centuries, thousands of people were tortured.

End the experience by visiting the spot of the infamous Cemetery of the Innocents and the birth of the Paris Catacombs (NOTE: We do not go inside the Catacombs)

Many other terrifying and gruesome stories await you on the famous Haunted Paris Tour!
