Beneath Paris’s timeless rooftops, centuries of tension and intrigue linger in the shadows of Île de la Cité. This is no ordinary stroll—each stone conceals a secret, each bridge holds the echo of lost voices.

Unlock a self-guided audio tour that uncovers stories and scandals most passersby never notice. Wander at your own pace and let hidden histories reveal themselves as you explore the island’s iconic heart.

What crisis sent Paris’s police chief scrambling through midnight streets on horseback? Who plotted revolution beneath cathedral spires? How did a line of houses once collapse into the Seine, changing city law forever?

Trace the rush of rebellion across Place Louis Lépine, drift beside riverside markets where ancient kings bargained, and stand atop the Notre-Dame Bridge as its ghosts lean close. Step boldly—suspense and discovery are just ahead.

Dare to uncover what Paris keeps hidden in plain sight. Begin your journey now.
