Meet your private expert guide and become members of the mysterious Stone Key Order, an ancient society entrusted with protecting one of Paris' greatest secrets. Armed with your exclusive quest booklet, your family will embark on an exciting investigation through the medieval streets of the Marais, where every alleyway, tower, and hidden courtyard may hold the next clue.
As you explore Rue du Figuier, Rue Charlemagne, Rue des Jardins de Saint-Paul, and the banks of the Seine, you'll solve riddles, decode symbols, and uncover fascinating stories that reveal how Paris evolved from a fortified medieval city into one of the world's greatest capitals.
Your adventure continues to the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral, where centuries of history, legends, and architectural wonders come together. The final clues lead beneath the cathedral's square into the Archaeological Crypt, an extraordinary underground museum where ancient Roman streets, medieval foundations, and forgotten layers of Paris await discovery.
This immersive quest combines history, storytelling, exploration, and teamwork, creating an unforgettable experience that transforms a walk through Paris into a real historical adventure.
