Paris has a rich theatrical history, a tapestry of iconic characters from plays and novels that have inspired theatrical adaptations known across the world.
Come with me to Unmask Paris and discover the locations and anecdotes behind some of the most unforgettable stories to have ever emerged from the City of Lights.
This tour takes you from the iconic Moulin Rouge down by the Place du Chatelet in the historic Marais district, covering some of the most iconic characters from literature and musicals as well as a few of our beautiful theatres and their history.
You'll hear about the absurd play that inspired the surrealists, America's favorite fighting Frenchman, some strange occurrences in the Palais Garnier and a relentless Police Inspector's last sighting and more!
