Overview

  • Find 2 secret doors of the Opéra Garnier, and learn who was using them and for what.
    Visit the inside of a secret church
    Talk about how coffee influenced the French Revolution.
    Walk through hidden passages of the 19th century
    Admire the jewellery boutique loved by Marie Antoinette

    Along the way, we'll explore elegant boulevards, visit one of the most fascinating churches that hides in plain sight, uncover 19th-century hidden passages, see an iconic jewellery shop loved by Marie Antoinette herself, talk about luxury and fashion at Place Vendôme, discover the secrets of forbidden love that took place in the Royal Gardens and stand before the legendary Opera House, where we'll start our tour.

    Join me to discover not only how Paris was built, but also the colourful characters, secrets and stories that made it unforgettable. A bit of history, a touch of political intrigue, beautiful façades and – as is often the case in France – a little scandal await us behind almost every door.
