About this experience

Through this guided historical walk, walk the neighborhoods of Saint-Germain and the Bourbon Palace in search of visible or hidden traces of Freemasonry in the capital. These scattered symbols illustrate the taste of secrecy that characterizes the Masonic initiation rite: its new members are introduced by cooptation and are required not to reveal the identity of other members throughout their initiation. The Masonic secret has always fueled fantasies and misconceptions about this order born in Great Britain in 1717. Your passionate guide will teach you to distinguish the signs and decipher the truth from the false to focus on the historical origin of Freemasons, their organization, the main figures, and above all, their importance in the formation of our society.

Disappointment of the visit.

The visit was not structured in the narrative and presentation of Freemasonry. The rain that fell on our visit is no excuse.

Response from the operator: Chère Françoise, Merci pour votre retour. Nous prenons bonne note de vos remarques. Si la météo a pu compliquer le déroulé de la visite, nous comprenons que cela n’explique pas tout. Cette visite rencontre habituellement un très bon accueil, tant pour la richesse du sujet que pour la qualité de nos guides, dont le professionnalisme est régulièrement salué. Votre retour sera toutefois partagé avec l’équipe afin d’ajuster certains points si nécessaire. Au plaisir de vous accueillir pour une autre visite. L'équipe Cultival

Very interesting and illustrated tour: many exchanges with the guide. And all under the sun... I highly recommend it.

Response from the operator: Cher visiteur, Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre visite et les échanges avec notre guide. Au plaisir de vous revoir ! L'équipe Cultival

disappointing

Accompanied by my 2 children (almost 12 and 15 years old), I found the Guide inaccessible, not really open to questions. He was completely unclear in his unstructured explanations. I think he had a great knowledge but no pedagogy. We found the visit unattractive, and learned nothing. it seems that this ''discovery'' is directed to people initiated...

Response from the operator: Cher visiteur, Nous sommes navrés que vous n'ayez pas apprécié cette visite qui pourtant s'adresse à un large public. Nous ne manquerons pas de faire un point avec le guide et vous remercions pour vos remarques. Nous espérons que votre prochaines expérience avec Cultival sera à la hauteur de vos attentes. Très belle fin de journée L'équipe de Cultival

fairly hollow visit

On the theme of Freemasons, it is more discovery course over a walk, I deplored that it relies so little on the buildings we met. Barely a building and two statues commented on over 1h45. For those who have already opened a book on the subject it is a visit of rather limited value. Another thing: be right on time otherwise the band leaves without you!

Response from the operator: Cher visiteur, Nous sommes navrés que vous n'ayez pas pleinement apprécié notre visite consacrée à la franc-maçonnerie. Nous espérons que votre prochaine expérience avec Cultival sera à la hauteur de vos attentes. Passez une très belle journée L'équipe de Cultival

Nice walk to do!!

Excellent speaker, interesting explanations, great discoveries and revelations about the Freemasons that we were unaware of, I recommend this initiatory journey

Response from the operator: Cher visiteur, Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette visite sur les Francs-Maçons. Très belle journée. L'équipe de Cultival

Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society cost?

+

Prices start at $15 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society take?

+

Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.

Is Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1.8-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Freemasons, Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Paris?

+

Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Paris?

+

April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Paris?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
