Guided tour: The Paris of the "Brigands" (Marais-Temple) Activity

One of the Paris Criminel® tours!

Crimes and misdemeanours at all costs! In the Temple and Marais districts.

A different way to see Paris: Discover the picturesque alleyways and stately mansions of the Temple and Marais districts, another area steeped in crime stories.

In a society based on power and money, criminals for centuries have hardly had the "means" to waste time earning it honestly.

Still believing that "money is the false currency of happiness", as the Goncourts put it, they defy the law.

From the Place de Grève, the scene of capital executions from the Middle Ages to the Empire, to the Place de la République, we'll look at conspiracies, homicides, holdups, forgers and counterfeiters.
