1 hour 45 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: French

Through this guided historical walk, walk the neighborhoods of Saint-Germain and the Bourbon Palace in search of visible or hidden traces of Freemasonry in the capital. These scattered symbols illustrate the taste of secrecy that characterizes the Masonic initiation rite: its new members are introduced by cooptation and are required not to reveal the identity of other members throughout their initiation. The Masonic secret has always fueled fantasies and misconceptions about this order born in Great Britain in 1717. Your passionate guide will teach you to distinguish the signs and decipher the truth from the false to focus on the historical origin of Freemasons, their organization, the main figures, and above all, their importance in the formation of our society.
