Paris: Pastries & Damnations - A Sweet Tour of the Old City
Description
Taste the sweet side of Paris—then uncover its shadows. This walking tour through the Notre-Dame and Latin Quarter area blends irresistible pastries with powerful true stories. Starting at the peaceful Île Saint-Louis, we’ll enjoy gourmet treats from beloved local bakeries. But behind the sugar lies sorrow: the Notre-Dame fire, medieval executions, and the tragic legend of the drowned girl whose face became the most kissed lips in history. We’ll stroll through hidden courtyards, past ancient churches, and along the banks of the Seine where ghosts of the past still linger. Along the way, you’ll hear tales of love, loss, revolution, and resilience. The experience ends at the foot of the Panthéon, final resting place of France’s greatest minds—Voltaire, Rousseau, Marie Curie. A tour for those who crave both flavor and feeling, and want to see the heart of Paris through a deeper, more dramatic lens.
