Your Itinerary

Seine River

(Pass by)

Paris, the City of Light, has a remarkably dark and stormy past. Before the city earned its reputation for culture, art, fashion and romance, it endured centuries of strife – gruesome murders, torture, and beheadings, political and social unrest, brutal monarchies and wars, not to mention terrible plagues. This tour will bring to life Paris's mysterious and often horrific past – its ghosts, legends and historic personalities. You’ll see both rarely visited and well-known sights in a whole new way!

Conciergerie

(Pass by)

See the Hotel de Concierge, where Marie Antoinette was once imprisoned.

Square du Vert-Galant

At the beautiful, romantic Square du Vert-Galant - created in honor of Henry IV and his mistresses and recently declared an “Espace vert ecologique” (an ecological green space) – your guide will describe a different scene, when the last Knights’ Templar was burned at the stake here.

Eglise St-Germain l'Auxerrois

You’ll visit the 7th century church of Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois, and learn how and why around 30,000 Huguenots were murdered in the infamous St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre of 1572.

Ile de la Cite

(Pass by)

Pass by the Île de la Cité, an island in Seine river in the center of Paris, which in the 4th century was the site of the fortress of the Roman governor.

Palais de Justice de Paris

(Pass by)

You’ll learn that the Palais de Justice - which was awarded the Grand Prix de l'Empereur as the greatest work of art produced in France in that decade - was where unfortunates were judged guilty during the French Revolution and sentenced to the guillotine in front of cheering crowds – even if they were Kings or revolutionaries themselves!

Hotel de Ville

(Pass by)

Place de l'Hotel de Ville was used for parties organized by the municipality and to celebrate births and marriages of the royal family, but it was also the place for important executions from 1310 to 1830, including those of Ravaillac and La Brinvilliers.

Great tour. The guide was easy to find at the Henry IV statue. Information was fun and we learned a lot along the way. It was more about Paris’ dark past than ghosts. Group was small enough that everyone could hear easily when we stopped. Guide wore a mic too. Would highly recommend!

McKenna_W

Ami was amazing! He was so enthusiastic, and had great ghost stories that also taught us a lot about Parisian history. Highly recommend!!

Kritika was an amazing. Tons of information not covered any place else. Great for all ages!!!! The stories were tied to history and really interesting!

Jason_E

I visited multiple cities on my trip through Europe, and did a ghost tour in each city. Paris by Night was BY FAR the best! But I imagine that our guide, Ami, was the reason why. Ami is a great story teller. He told us stories involving the birth of the Friday the 13th curse, and the origin of the Sweeny Todd story! Ami is extremely personable, friendly, you can tell he loves telling stories! Ami captures a crowd, and pulls them in with engaging banter and comedic relief. This tour is a MUST when visiting Paris.
