Walking tours · Paris 1st to 3rd · 2 hours
From the Square du Vert-Galant, where Grand Master Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake in 1314, to the Square du Temple, where the great tower of the Order once guarded its treasure, this unique historical tour takes you in the footsteps of the Knights Templar in Paris.
You will discover that the true history of this military and religious order is far more fascinating than the sulphurous legends that circulate about it: its rise, its wealth, its role in the city — and its brutal fall at the hands of King Philip the Fair.
Designed by Thierry do Espirito, historian and author of “Les Templiers pour les Nuls” (Templars for Dummies).
We walk for two hours: comfortable shoes and a reasonable level of fitness are essential.
