   The most important cemetery in medieval Paris sat not in a quiet suburb but at the heart of its busiest market. Discover how plague, mass burial, and a public health crisis led to the creation of the Catacombs — and why Gothic fiction found its perfect setting here.

7. 7

   (EXTERIOR ONLY) The surviving tower of the church where the city's most famous alchemist was buried. Discover how a modest medieval scribe became Europe's most legendary occultist.

8. 8

   4th Arrondissement

   (EXTERIOR ONLY) The former Place de Grève

   (EXTERIOR ONLY) The former Place de Grève was Paris's principal execution ground for centuries before the Revolution gave it a new machine. The first person guillotined in Paris was here. The crowd found it disappointingly fast.

9. 9

   (EXTERIOR ONLY) — The tour ends here, at the cathedral that survived revolution, occupation, and fire, and still stands at the heart of the city. Gothic architecture as theology in stone, built over pagan foundations, saved from demolition by a single novel.
