About
A few steps away from the Quai des Orfèvres, follow in the footsteps of the most fantastic and famous business that struck the heart of Paris from the 14th century to today. Like an investigator, you will go back over the course of time and the course of the Seine and will shiver before the coldness of the crimes that will be told you. From the Palace of Justice to the Conciergerie, through the darkest lanes, you will discover what motivated these famous criminals to take action.

- _leslie_lynne_gordon0 contributionsVery interesting!We enjoyed our visit very much! Spent the first hour reading about the manufacturing process (kiosks had lots of photos and English translation) . The second hour we wandered through the amazing collection of clay to porcelain pottery from all over the world - ancient to contemporary. Beautiful space, not crowded, very affordable!Written 12 October 2024
- 256janek0 contributionsnot worth it for non french speaking peoplegoebin Factory We could not find the entrance It actually said that it was closed but it turns out after walking around entire block it had been the right place Just not at all marked We all waited outside for 15 to 30 min in the pouring rain They would not find us a covered spot to wait The tour is in french and i knew that but i thought most of the tour would be seeing tapestries being made and a gallery of fonished tapestries Most of the tour was a guide talking and a very short part was seeing the weaving There is no gallery of tapestries if you are non french speaking , don’t do it Also The factory and the tour are not well defined so hang inWritten 9 October 2024
- alirunsandreads0 contributionsFun time form football fansSuper fun for my football loving son! We booked this last minute after our PSG stadium tour was cancelled. The field was all torn up which took a little away from the experience. Our tour guide was great and the locker rooms were a highlight. Definitely recommend for lovers of football and rugby.Written 6 October 2024
- ullas6590 contributionsSpectacular experienceAURA INVALIDES is a 50 minutes sound and light show that gives you the immersive experience of the Dôme des Invalides in Paris. A unique multimedia creation combining orchestral music, video mapping and light effects, the show AURA INVALIDES invites visitors to (re)discover its exceptional architecture and heritage. By walking through the four chapels and standing at the edge of the rotunda, you will experience how colored laser beams trace the lines and structures of the architecture, colors bring the sculptures to life and magnificent music completely envelops and captivates you. Absolutely worth the entrance fee and highly recommended to include in your itinerary for an evening in Paris.Written 25 September 2024
- IndefiniteGuest0 contributionsWhere is the Philosopher's stone?My wife & i had a lot of fun investigating the secret of Arsene Lupin ! The activity let's you explore the opera into further details. The organising team was great and helpful, although the ending could have been better in my opinion. Overall a great experience for us to see L'opera Garnier in a different light. Also, as you'll be the last group left in the Opera, it creates a great photo moment with nobody around !Written 2 September 2024
- MNRLVEU0 contributionsGreat sound & light show in a historical setting.This was an enjoyable light and sound show with a little history included. The lighting and effects were impressive and scattered throughout the area allowing you to check out other areas. A good show and different way to enjoy such a beautiful place. It does not have any toilets which is something to consider before arriving.Written 10 August 2024
- 149laurynf0 contributionsUsed these tix to get inside, game was Meh.The Palais is incredibly gorgeous, but we only booked these tickets to get inside because the regular tickets were booked up. The game was definitely hard & took time, and way more concentration than we were up for on vacay.Written 5 August 2024
- M8962QHalir0 contributionsNOT for non-French speakersSadly, this was in French-only. We waited through the initial actor's speech and clarified with him that there was no possibility of an English translation, and then we left. 120 Euros down the drain for the four of us.Written 4 August 2024
- MadeleineMSS0 contributionsSold as suitable for English Speakers - Not True!While the Opera is stunning and I'm sure the activity would have been interesting had my family spoken French, it was a big disappointment. I wrote in advance to be sure that the game could be played if someone only spoke English and they said YES. This is NOT true at all. I speak French well and first the crowds were very big and the space very noisy so even in French it was hard to hear the introductions to the game and the actors telling the background story. Then I had to try to translate for my parents because the actors said they could not do so in English even though I had been told in advance before I booked that the game was suitable also for only English-Speakers. From then on it was worse and worse. All the materials were only in French and most of the helpers could not translate into English either. One did help us a bit but it took a lot of time and none of the main actors setting the scene and the beginning and end and the discovery at the end my parents understood nothing. It was not fun for us and we should have gotten a refund. Also complicated to find the correct entrance. We first went to the main entrance and all the way through security before then going on the other side and almost missing it. Need to be CLEAR that this is not suitable for English speakers and don't take our money - it's a waste for us. Also clarify the entrance and meeting points and have smaller groups.Written 16 July 2024
- sushirsch0 contributionsWhen you go, be sure to know where to meet and what language the game will be played in….I was at the appointed location on time. No one showed. I stumbled on to an entrance around the block to learn that the game was in French. I had signed up for the game in English….My French is not good enough so I didn’t play. They did give me a refund so that was good. And I went to Galeries Lafayette which is within easy walking distance so all was not lost!Written 16 June 2024
- BackPacker7710390 contributionsDon’t waste your money if you don’t speak French!Nowhere in this description did it mention that this activity would not be available in English. What a waste of money if you don’t speak French. This needs to be clearly marked in your description. So disappointing. I would have just paid for entry with the self guided English audio tour.Written 10 June 2024

The tour was very interesting and we learned some things HOWEVER it was not what we ordered.
Indeed we were to have a visit to the major criminals of Paris, we only talked about Ravaillac, Philippe le Bel, Cartouche and the 2 killers of rue Canonesse.
Where are the criminals of this century?
Here is what is described on your site: By making headlines, great figures have emerged from the shadows to inspire writers and filmmakers. Lacenaire, Cartouche, Mesrine… During this visit they will rub shoulders with lesser-known actors, but who have each made the capital shiver.
We were looking forward to this visit, too bad.

Accompagnée d'amis et de leurs ados (5 pers au total), nous avons été déçus car il y avait beaucoup trop de références historiques à notre goût... on s'y perdait vraiment dans les infos ! visite très très "classique"... Pour nous, pas assez d'anecdotes croustillantes ou ludiques... (visite pas adaptée à des ados à notre sens).
Le guide était néanmoins très gentil et passionné.

Horrible, inexistante même. Arrivée à 17h30, au point de rencontre, pour l'heure de la visite. J'ai attendu jusqu'à 18h sans même voir l'ombre d'un guide. A priori je n'étais pas le seul a attendre, un couple était la aussi. J'hésite entre l'arnaque ou la mauvaise organisation de leurs part. Une chose est sur...13€ de perdu et aucune envie de repasser par eux pour visiter Paris.

En partant du thème "Paris obscure", cette visite nous fait voyager dans l'ancien régime, la révolution, l'empire et la restauration. Franck, notre guide, nous a fait vivre un aventure passionnante en nous contant la grande et les petites histoires. Crimes et magie noire se mêlent aux moments clés et monuments de notre histoire, nous permettant de découvrir des anecdotes incroyables et inconnues. Rassurez-vous rien de sordide et bien au contraire une façon originale de vivre l'histoire de France et de Paris. Merci à Franck!
