This 2.5-hour walking tour runs from the Pont des Arts across the Île de la Cité to the Louvre Museum, unraveling the intrigues of the French monarchy in the Middle Ages and Renaissance through five episodes. A local guide tells the history that inspired countless books, TV series and games, from the Viking invasions and political intrigues of the Wars of Religion to the origins of the English language and the superstition around Friday the 13th. You'll also stop at hidden places few tourists visit and receive a booklet with a timeline of the events covered. It's a great tour to take before visiting the Louvre.
Meet your guide in the middle of the Pont des Arts to start the tour. Explore five episodes of plots, scandals, murders and unbelievable coincidences between rival houses and families from the 9th century to 1616, a period rarely covered by Paris tours. Each episode shows the origins and consequences of the events and how they connect to today's world.
Stop at two historic places that few tourists visit, then head to the Île de la Cité. Hear stories that inspired books, films, series and games, such as the Viking invasions, political intrigues of the Wars of Religion, the origins of English and why people fear Friday the 13th. Depending on the day, you may stop at a local bakery to buy a snack (at your own cost).
Finally, walk to the Louvre Museum and hear about events that took place there as the tour wraps up. Louvre admission is not included. You'll also receive a booklet with a timeline of the events covered, plus recommended books, films, series, games, YouTube channels and podcasts.
