Overview
See Paris through a lens of the Harry Potter cinematic universe on this bewitching 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 links between her time in Paris and the legendary books and films.
On this magical 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 an alchemist believed to have discovered the Philosopher’s Stone.
You’ll visit the Centre Pompidou, to 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 bewitching Art Nouveau locations, such as the French Ministry of Magic.
At certain points of the tour, you’ll use an app to see street mosaics that resemble fantastical creatures and earn special points.
You’ll continue through atmospheric backstreets to the Saint-Jacques Tower to hear tales of the French Revolution, and how it’s connected to the character of Nearly Headless Nick.
The Harry Potter & Fantastic Beasts of Paris Walking Tour concludes on Île de la Cité at the famous Shakespeare and Company bookstore, where you can enjoy a tea or coffee at the famous café and see the oldest tree in Paris.

Julian is a very personable guide
MackinnonWe had a very pleasant morning doing the Harry Potter tour with Julian. He was very informative; there is not so much relevant details re Harry Potter or fantastic beasts in central Paris nevertheless the tour was entertaining and enjoyable
Fantastic beasts can you find them all?
Kyle and Missy DeFinaFun and informative experience our guide was absolutely fantastic keeping it very relative to Harry Potter and local facts yet still employing games and fun things to do along the way! Highly recommended for any Harry Potter fan visiting Paris

Harry Potter tour with Vicky
MickVicky was very engaging. Welcoming and fun. Energetic. Passionate. Right amount of information and walking.
Décevant
Caty D.On s'attendait à ce que la visite nous parle de Harry Potter. Outre faire semblant que les dessins sur les bâtiments étaient des monstres, il n'y avait pas de contenu en lien avec le thème. Par contre, l'animatrice était sympathique.
almost nothing is for potterheads
Edwardthe only thing in the tour for potterheads was the nicolas flamel house and we quit after it is too mainly focus on a kids game from space invaders were not here too capture beasts we are here for potter buildings and other related stuf sorry but i'm giving it 1 star very bad tour we quited after half an hour
