Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts of Paris Walking Tour

Look at Paris through a lens of the Harry Potter novels and films on this magical walking tour. 

The Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts of Paris Walking Tour brings the wizarding world to life, from mysterious passageways to historical figures that inspired J.K Rowling. You’ll uncover the connection between her time in Paris and the legendary series.  

On this spellbinding 90-minute tour of Paris, Potterheads will wander down a curious passageway reminiscent of Diagon Alley. See Nicholas Flamel’s historic house and learn about his legacy as a French alchemist believed to have discovered the Philosopher’s Stone. 

Together, you’ll make your way to the Centre Pompidou, where you’ll learn about some of the legendary French beasts that inspired the Fantastic Beasts series. The second instalment, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was set in 1920s Paris and featured magical Art Nouveau locations, such as the French Ministry of Magic. 

To make the Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts of Paris Walking Tour a little different, at certain points, you’ll use an app to see street mosaics that resemble fantastical creatures and earn special points. 

You’ll continue through atmospheric alleys and backstreets to the Saint-Jacques Tower to hear stories about the French Revolution, and how it’s connected to the character of Nearly Headless Nick. 

The Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts of Paris Walking Tour wraps up on Île de la Cité at the Shakespeare and Company bookstore. Here, you can visit the famous café and see the oldest tree in Paris.
