Guided tour: Butchers and ogresses in the heart of Paris

Square Jean-Bidaut, 18 rue de la Lune

A guided tour in the dark Paris of crimes, monsters and killers... What is a butcher, literally and figuratively? And what is an ogress then? All the meanings of these two words will be explored throughout the walk. We will talk about criminals and crimes, but also about significant police events that changed the course of justice. We will also talk about butchers, real butchers, and how the meat trade was managed, as well as the appearance of hygiene measures around it. We'll also talk about the history of medicine, and much more! Audience: Adult audience.
