Paris Unexplored (4 or 8 hours)
For the visitors, already familiar with the more renowned historical and artistic landmarks of the city, here are some of the many surprises and rewards that this private, intimate tour has in store for the curious and passionate of the "unmapped".
A resting garden for old stones, a whispering medieval gallery, the Bastille in bits and pieces, an Elm tree for justice, a multi-purpurse church tower, tombstones to keep your feet dry, the last rood-screen, bloodshed at a Carmelite monastery, the revolutionary meter, the astrological gnomon at St.Sulpice, miracle medals on the left bank, a building as a billboard, charming conveniences, an islet of Romantics, forgotten cul de sacs, a cloister converted into workshops, a cannon to set your clock by, a chateau with a road through it, eccentric houses and facades in Art Nouveau style, a lemon tree in a telephone booth… that's what this tour "Secret Paris" is all about.

Paris Da Vinci Code Tour (4 or 8 hours)
With your private "symbologist", revisit Robert Langdon's Parisian adventures, search for the clues hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's masterpieces such as the "Mona Lisa" and the "Virgin of the Rocks".
They will tackle many of the questions provocatively asked in the book: the true nature of Mary Magdalene's relationship with Christ, the real story of Constantin the Great, Christianity in Rome, the donation of Constantine, St. Paul and the New Testament, the Golden Ratio, the Merovingian Bloodline, the hidden symbolism in Leonardo's paintings…
From the Grande Galerie du Louvre where you will search for the Holy Graal in I.M. Pei's inverted pyramid, the Arc du Carrousel, the frescoes and astronomical gnomon in St. Sulpice Church, the Arago Plaques that mark the Paris "Rose line", your expert will point out every clue, significant stone, inscription, painting in a way which will make your book come alive before your very eyes.
(Entrance tickets to the Louvre included)
