Unusual things to do in Paris
You want an evening that is not another dinner and not another walking tour — something with a story in it, for two people or a small group of friends on a weekend away.
Why Paris works for this
Île Saint-Louis after dark is one of the quietest places in central Paris, which makes it an unusually good place to be told you cannot trust someone.
How the evening runs
Two to two and a half hours through the Marais and the island, finishing near a dinner reservation.
Routes here run through the Marais, Île Saint-Louis and the passages around Rue des Archives. Hosting is available in English and French.
