Come travel with me back in time to a tumultuous period where war, famine, pestilence, political crime and the severe hand of justice created an intimate relationship with death that is difficult to conceive today. Important historical places such as the Conciergerie prison, the Grand Châtelet prison, religious or occult buildings, and the former Holy Innocents’ Cemetery shall be revealed during this tour.
