Activity description :

Just because you've got a crown on your head doesn't mean you're any wiser than the average person... and the kings and queens of our history are there to remind us! Travel back in time to relive some of royalty's greatest scandals, during a 1h30 tour of Paris.

Your visit: "In the shadow of power, plots and state secrets".

Guided tour - 1h30 - Outdoor

The Marquise des Potins, the Comtesse des Commères, the Archiduc des Quendiraton, the Duchesse des Ouï-Dire and the Princesse des Pipelettes take you on a tour of the secrets of the court of the kings of France. From the greatest burglary in French history to the day of the dupes and the tribulations of the Vert galant, this immersive historical experience is full of surprises. There's plenty to keep you busy throughout this unusual tour, which takes in the Tuileries, the Louvre, the church of Saint-Germain-L'Auxerrois...

Tour advantages :

  • An immersive tour : your guide will be dressed in period costume.
  • This tour, not recommended for under-16s, is ideal for staging surprising olfactory experiences that punctuate the visit to take you "by the nose" to the heart of History!
  • Audioguides with personal earpieces for optimal hearing.
  • The guided tour is conducted in French, with the option of an English-language tour.

As you can see, this original, fun activity will appeal to everyone (over 16), whether with family or friends. It's also a great way to remember the capital for a special event such as a bachelor or bachelorette party (EVJF or EVG), birthday or team building!

There were six of us from Normandy (aged 12 to 58) on this day with Margaux, and we all learned plenty of historical facts that make you want to revise French history. The lecturer was cheerful and funny. We highly recommend this service and will be back.
