Not all of the walking tours in Paris take place in the daytime. In fact, not all of them take place above ground! We've uncovered (or should we say, dug up?) a few mysterious walking tours of Paris that are all about the eerie, the fantastic, the underground of the city, and the nighttime. You're allowed to hold hands!
Explore the Marais, the Paris Islands, and hidden streets in a walking tour at night. Learn about the dark history that is part of the City of Light: the plague, the French Revolution and the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. Visit Hotel de Ville and Hotel de la Concierge under the cover of darkness.
If you're looking for something a little different in a Paris experience, consider a trip to the underworld. Explore the labyrinths beneath the city that are the final resting place of millions of Parisians. A tour through the Paris Catacombs is an eerie reminder of the long and sometimes bizarre history of Paris. There are only a limited number of visitors allowed in the catacombs daily, so be sure to book early.
Choose the culinary experiences that feel most like Paris. In our guide we highlight tastings and tours worth booking ahead, from cellar wine sessions to market walks, with clear notes on timing, size, and what sets each apart.
What's more mysterious than a graveyard? A visit to this famous cemetery is a must, what with all the famous people buried here. You visit the graves of celebrities past and present — Heloise and Abelard, Chopin, Oscar Wilde, Balzac, Proust, famous artists, authors and personalities. And yes, Jim Morrison is buried here, too. As soon as we did this tour it became one of our most highly recommended activities in Paris.
