Overview

Every city has its secrets. Bordeaux whispers them to those willing to listen...

Bordeaux is famous for its elegant architecture and world-renowned wine, but beneath its beautiful streets lies a darker history waiting to be uncovered.

Join us on a 2-hour dark history walking tour through the heart of the city and discover tales of murders, public executions, betrayals, witchcraft, medieval justice, mysterious disappearances and forgotten legends.

We'll explore iconic landmarks including:

- Grosse Cloche
- Porte Cailhau
- Basilique Saint-Michel
- Miroir d'Eau
- Place de la Bourse
- Cathédrale Saint-André

Discover the story of Eleanor of Aquitaine, gruesome medieval punishments, hidden symbols and the real events that shaped Bordeaux.

This isn't a ghost tour full of made-up stories—it's an immersive journey into Bordeaux's true dark history, told through engaging storytelling. Small groups, local recommendations, and unforgettable stories guaranteed.

The whispers are waiting... See you soon!
