A Night in Paris with Edgar Allan Poe

5.00A nighttime encounter with Edgar Allan Poe in person, in search of Paris’s darkest stories ! What a pleasure to wander through the small streets of Île de la Cité with a Poe who feels incredibly real and to discover what lies behind the scenes. It feels like watching a play but outdoors ! I highly recommend it.
