Itinerary
1
Statue equestre d'Henri IV
Begin beside France's most famous king: born Protestant, twice forced to convert, survivor of the Wars of Religion.
15 minutes
2
Square du Vert-Galant
Descend to the tip of the Île de la Cité and stand at the spot where Jacques de Molay, last Grand Master of the Knights Templar, was burned alive in 1314.
10 minutes
3
Carrousel du Louvre
At the palace where Catherine de Medici summoned her court prophet, explore the relationship between prophecy and political power, and ask the question every civilisation has asked: why can none of us stop imagining the end?
10 minutes
4
Eglise St-Germain l'Auxerrois
The bell of this royal church tolled before dawn on 24 August 1572, and the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre began.
10 minutes
5
Before the Revolution invented the machine, Paris had its own vocabulary of public death. This brief stop explores what execution looked like when it was designed to be a moral lesson.
10 minutes
6
Fontaine des Innocents
The most important cemetery in medieval Paris sat not in a quiet suburb but at the heart of its busiest market. Discover how plague, mass burial, and a public health crisis led to the creation of the Catacombs — and why Gothic fiction found its perfect setting here.
15 minutes
7
Tour Saint-Jacques
(EXTERIOR ONLY) The surviving tower of the church where the city's most famous alchemist was buried. Discover how a modest medieval scribe became Europe's most legendary occultist.
15 minutes
8
Hotel de Ville
(EXTERIOR ONLY) The former Place de Grève was Paris's principal execution ground for centuries before the Revolution gave it a new machine. The first person guillotined in Paris was here. The crowd found it disappointingly fast.
10 minutes
9
Notre-Dame
(EXTERIOR ONLY) — The tour ends here, at the cathedral that survived revolution, occupation, and fire, and still stands at the heart of the city. Gothic architecture as theology in stone, built over pagan foundations, saved from demolition by a single novel.
Please note that the Notre-Dame Cathedral interior visit is not included in the tour. The cathedral serves only as the tour's endpoint. Guests are welcome to visit the interior independently, subject to cathedral access and regulations.
