Rude Bastards Tour: Unconventional and Edgy Guided Tour of Paris

Overview

This walking tour offers a politically incorrect approach to Parisian history. Far from formal lectures, this route favours a brutally honest narrative, blending dark comedy and humour to explore the capital's past. The circuit focuses on the darkest and most scandalous aspects of history: political intrigues, executions, revolutionary chaos, and royal secrets. Local guides rely on authentic stories rather than scripts, making every walk unique. The tour departs from the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district. The group then walks towards Notre-Dame and crosses the Seine to reach the Île de la Cité, the birthplace of Paris, before ending the tour near the Louvre. The route revisits the French Revolution and the years of the guillotine. Lasting approximately 2 to 3 hours, this experience combines culture and laughter for those wishing to discover Paris from a different angle.
