Trace J.K. Rowling’s French inspirations on this Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts-themed walk from Étienne Marcel to Shakespeare and Company, featuring Nicolas Flamel’s house and magical street art.

This experience blends cinema, history, and playful discovery into a unique cultural tour of Paris. We begin going through some secret passages, then on to legendary home of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, the oldest stone house in Paris. From here, young wizards and witches launch a city-wide game: a scavenger hunt to capture (with their cameras) as many Fantastic Beasts as possible—revealed as cleverly hidden street-art mosaics along the route. The enigmatic Flamel fascinated J.K. Rowling and Victor Hugo alike. But who was he really—and did he unlock the secret so many alchemists sought: eternal life and boundless wealth? This tour invites you to decide, as Paris reveals its most magical stories.

What to expect

A Magical Paris Adventure for the Whole Family

Step into the wizarding world as you trace J.K. Rowling’s French inspirations on this enchanting Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts-themed walk, from Étienne Marcel to the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookshop.

Blending cinema, history, and playful discovery, this experience transforms Paris into your very own magical playground.

We begin by slipping through hidden covered passages, before arriving at the mysterious home of Nicolas Flamel — the oldest stone house in Paris and one of the most fascinating figures in both history and legend. Said to have discovered the secret of eternal life and limitless wealth, Flamel’s story inspired not only J.K. Rowling, but also Victor Hugo. But what is myth… and what is truth? You decide.

Along the way, young witches and wizards (and grown-up ones too!) take part in an interactive Fantastic Beasts scavenger hunt, spotting and capturing magical creatures hidden across the city as clever street-art mosaics.

Fun, interactive, and full of wonder, this is a unique cultural adventure where Paris reveals its most magical side — perfect for families, fans, and curious explorers alike.
