About this experience
Halloween in Paris is something special, and we’d love to take you on a walk you won’t forget. In two hours, we’ll slip into the city’s darker side—where legends, ghost stories, and spine-tingling folklore come alive.
This tour really is for everyone: curious kids, adventurous teens, history buffs, and anyone who just loves a good thrill and Halloween vibe.
As we wander the medieval streets of Île de la Cité, your guide will share the kind of tales that give you goosebumps: a murderous barber who terrified the neighborhood, ghosts said to linger in royal chambers, and strange immortals who still haunt Parisian lore. Every corner hides a secret, and every landmark—whether it’s the Hôtel de Ville, Notre Dame, or Conciergerie—has something eerie to reveal.
With a small group (never more than 8), it feels more like exploring the city with friends—friends who happen to love a good spooky story. Together, we’ll share an unforgettable Halloween evening in the City of Light… and shadows.
