Palais-Royal
  • 1h
Our off-the-beaten track itinerary will include the Palais Royal, some of the most beautiful Parisian 19th Century Covered Passages, and a walk through the little known 9th arrondissement. From Napoleon Bonaparte to Toulouse Lautrec, you will travel back in time to meet some of the most scandalous characters who gave Paris its racy reputation.
Saint-Georges

Did you know that at the authorised brothels' peak period, there were more than 200 establishments and 150 000 registered filles de joie? How could you recognise a Maison close? What were the rules inside these brothels and who were the famed Belle Époque painters that depicted life here? Who were the best-known courtesans or cocottes? These are some of the fun facts you’ll learn with your guide on this tour.
Pigalle

Your tour will finish at the sulphurous Pigalle red-district area, where you will stop for a cocktail at an elegant former brothel. If you haven’t had enough, feel free to explore further with a visit to the bohemian Montmartre district.
