Trace J.K. Rowling’s French inspirations on this Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts-themed walk from Étienne Marcel to Shakespeare and Company, featuring Nicolas Flamel’s house and magical street art.
This experience blends cinema, history, and playful discovery into a unique cultural tour of Paris. We begin going through some secret passages, then on to legendary home of the alchemist Nicolas Flamel, the oldest stone house in Paris. From here, young wizards and witches launch a city-wide game: a scavenger hunt to capture (with their cameras) as many Fantastic Beasts as possible—revealed as cleverly hidden street-art mosaics along the route. The enigmatic Flamel fascinated J.K. Rowling and Victor Hugo alike. But who was he really—and did he unlock the secret so many alchemists sought: eternal life and boundless wealth? This tour invites you to decide, as Paris reveals its most magical stories.

What To Expect
A Magical Paris Adventure for the Whole Family Step into the wizarding world as you trace J.K. Rowling’s French inspirations on this enchanting Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts-themed walk, from Étienne Marcel to the legendary Shakespeare and Company bookshop. Blending cinema, history, and playful discovery, this experience transforms Paris into your very own magical playground. We begin by slipping through hidden covered passages, before arriving at the mysterious home of Nicolas Flamel — the oldest stone house in Paris and one of the most fascinating figures in both history and legend. Said to have discovered the secret of eternal life and limitless wealth, Flamel’s story inspired not only J.K. Rowling, but also Victor Hugo. But what is myth… and what is truth? You decide. Along the way, young witches and wizards (and grown-up ones too!) take part in an interactive Fantastic Beasts scavenger hunt, spotting and capturing magical creatures hidden across the city as clever street-art mosaics. Fun, interactive, and full of wonder, this is a unique cultural adventure where Paris reveals its most magical side — perfect for families, fans, and curious explorers alike.

5.00The tour was very interesting, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly; we felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the tour. It was full of interesting facts and history without feeling like it was forced or as if it was a regurgitated essay of the history of Paris. Three of us went and would all definitely recommend it to any fans of magical histories or just generally!
An outstanding and magical way to discover Paris

5.00We genuinely don’t understand why more people aren’t doing this tour, because it was one of the most enjoyable and memorable experiences we had in Paris. We did it with our children and we all had an incredible time — fun, laughter, and shared moments from start to finish. The Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts tour offers a truly original way to explore Paris. The guide was excellent: engaging, energetic, and perfectly balanced for both children and adults. The storytelling, interactive moments, and magical atmosphere kept everyone involved, making the experience feel immersive rather than like a traditional tour. What makes this tour exceptional is its versatility. It’s ideal for families, friends, couples, and solo travellers alike. You discover Paris through a creative and imaginative lens, noticing details and places you would otherwise miss, while still learning about the city’s history and character. This tour allows you to experience Paris in a completely different way, creating unforgettable memories for all ages. Highly attractive, wonderfully organised, and strongly recommended — we would happily do it again.
A must do for all Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts Fans

5.00We would highly recommend this tour for families, our children aged 11 and 7 years we’re both captivated for the entire tour. Daniel‘s a wonderful guide with a broad knowledge of Paris, its surrounds and of course Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts. It was very enjoyable for us all and walking through some other parts of Paris we hadn’t seen yet was a welcomed change. Our vote is YES, go ahead and book it in!
