Overview

Step into the heart of Paris for a spooky journey through the haunted Île de la Cité. From the historic Pont Neuf to the charming Square du Vert-Galant, you'll discover eerie tales and ghostly legends. Our tour passes the imposing Conciergerie, where Marie Antoinette's spirit is said to linger, the magnificent Sainte-Chapelle with its shadows of spectral monks, and more Parisian landmarks you thought you knew.

As we stroll down Rue de la Cité, keep your eyes peeled for the elusive "Wandering Nun." You'll hear spine-tingling stories at every turn, from "The Screams of the Drowned" along the Seine to tales of unjust execution. Each step brings a new chilling legend to life.

The adventure concludes at the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, home to the mysterious phantom bell ringer. Join us for an unforgettable glimpse into Paris' darker secrets and see this beloved city in a whole new light!
