Paris of Crime: Dive back into the major crimes that left their mark on Paris｜France

Behind the City of Light lies a city of shadows. For nearly two hours, I'll take you on a walking tour through the historic heart of Paris — between the Louvre, Les Halles, and Le Châtelet — retracing the criminal cases that marked the capital, from the Middle Ages to the early 20th century.
As we walk through the streets that you may pass by every day without knowing it, we go back in time: the assassination of a King of France in the middle of the street, a dreaded prison of which almost nothing remains, a pillory where the condemned were exposed, forgotten news stories, and a few enduring legends. True stories, dark, sometimes funny, always surprising — big History told through the little stories that shaped it.
A professional live guide for 10 years and a former guide at Paris ZigZag, I designed this tour myself and I lead it in both French and English. There's no lecture: we walk, we observe, we talk, and I use period images to show you what has disappeared. Come curious, and leave with a new perspective on Paris.
