Legends, Symbols & Saints: The Hidden Soul of Paris
About The Tour
Every city has a history. Paris has a mythology. For those looking for something a little bit different - this is an esoteric walking tour of Paris.
Together we will explore a city shaped not only by kings and revolutions, but also by visionaries, mystics, artists, occultists, and seekers. Discover traces of ancient Egypt hidden in unexpected places, the rise of Spiritualism and mediumship in nineteenth-century Paris, the symbolism concealed within architecture, and the esoteric traditions that have captivated generations of writers, artists, and philosophers. From medieval saints to surrealists and sacred relics to alchemists and the enigmatic legacy of the Knights Templar, I will guide you through the lesser known myths and legends.
Blending cultural history, religion, folklore, art, and esoteric traditions, this unique walking tour invites you to experience the soul of Paris.
