Booking 24 hours after purchase. Tour duration: 1 hour 30 minutes. Freemasons: Myths and Revelations about a Secret Society. This guided historical walk takes you through the Saint-Germain and Palais Bourbon districts in search of visible and hidden traces of Freemasonry in the capital. These scattered symbols illustrate the penchant for secrecy that characterizes the Masonic initiation rite: new members are introduced by co-option and are bound not to reveal the identities of other members throughout their initiation. Masonic secrecy has always fueled fantasies and misconceptions about this order, which originated in Great Britain in 1717. Your passionate guide will teach you to distinguish the signs and decipher fact from fiction, focusing on the historical origins of Freemasons, their organization, key figures, and above all, their importance in shaping our society. An exciting tour for history buffs and those curious to read between the lines of the capital's architecture to understand the secrets of our history!
