Paris may be the City of Lights but its history is sometimes shrouded in darkness. On this self-paced audio guide tour with novelist and Context Travel expert, Samuél Lopez-Barrantes, you'll embark on a 90-minute journey to explore the brutal collaboration between the French police and the Nazis who occupied Paris. As you walk through the Latin Quarter, Samuél will shed light on the complex and difficult history behind the Nazi occupation and share tales of the city’s resilience as Parisians fought to reclaim their beloved city from German control.
