Podcast Tour Paris The Crystal and the Cage

Overview

Forget the postcard Paris of manicured gardens and polite boulevards. This redthread tour takes you into the beating heart of the 10th arrondissement, a district defined by a sharp, jagged line between extreme luxury and desperate confinement. We will walk the 'Rue de Paradis'—once the world capital of crystal and porcelain—and uncover its dark twin: the Saint-Lazare enclosure, a former leper colony turned notorious women's prison. Guided by a skeptic and a historian, you'll explore hidden Art Deco passages, stunning Art Nouveau canteens, and the ghostly footprints of a cage that held spies and saints alike. It’s a story of beauty born from grit, where the clinking of champagne glasses once echoed against the rattling of chains. - A 1.9 km self-guided tour with 8 stops over 100 min - Ideal for travelers interested in History and Social Fabric & Everyday Life - Immersively told in a podcast style by experts and locals - Matching audio content, AI guide and navigation through the app
