Witches in Paris? In fairy tales, you might say. And yet they truly did walk the cobblestones of our beautiful capital, in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the century of the Sun King.
Set out to meet the many figures who left their mark on the History of Paris. You will discover the extraordinary fates of Jeanne la Cordelière, who could miraculously find a lost or stolen object, as well as magicians who came to the aid of the mad king Charles VI, fortune-tellers and card readers, and terrible poisoners practicing Satanic rites. All these witches share one grim thing in common: they met a tragic end. And beware: you may well cross paths with the Devil, inseparable from the witch, during your walk! Hugo, who is passionate about the subject, will take a critical look at these unusual figures, from the creation of their wicked image to their trials and their disappearance on the pyre. A stroll through old Paris, on the lookout for its atypical architecture and places still kept secret, that will delight young and old alike!
