Join us for a haunted journey through the heart of Paris, where dark history and ghostly mystery are never laid to rest. 

Our tour kicks off at the Pont Neuf, the city’s oldest standing bridge. As you take in the views of the Seine, you’ll hear the eerie tale of the phantom coach that’s said to ride at midnight on this historic crossing.

We’ll then stroll to the charming Square du Vert-Galant, a peaceful park at the island’s western tip. But not so peaceful as you’ll discover. The restless spirit of a man unjustly executed lingers in this picturesque greenspace.

Our path leads us along the Quai de l’Horloge on Île de la Cité, where the beauty of the Seine is matched only by its spine-tingling stories. Brace yourself for “The Screams of the Drowned,” a tale that’ll make you see this scenic spot in a whole new light.

Next up is the imposing Conciergerie. Once a royal palace turned revolutionary prison, these walls have witnessed centuries of drama. Here, your guide will share about Marie Antoinette, the ill-fated queen whose presence is said to still haunt the premises.

Nearby, we’ll pause outside the magnificent Sainte-Chapelle. While admiring its stunning Gothic architecture, you may see shadows of medieval monks gliding silently through the upper chapel, their ghostly silhouette a stark contrast to the vibrant stained glass.

As we make our way down Rue de la Cité, keep your eyes peeled for the “Wandering Nun.” This ghostly figure is said to roam the street, forever searching for the peace that eluded her in life.

Our Paris Ghost Tour culminates at the world-renowned Notre Dame Cathedral. Learn about the phantom bell ringer that’s said to haunt the iconic bell tower.

Come discover a darker side of the City of Light, a side most visitors never see. Our evening ghost tour of Paris is the perfect blend of history, architecture, and the paranormal that will leave you with spine-tingling tales you’ll want to frighten — we mean tell — your friends.
