Self-Guided Podcast Tour Paris: The Crystal and the Cage

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
