This tour in the XVIth arrondissement aims to highlight the places and figures tied to the repressive systems established during the Occupation of Paris, starting with the headquarters of the Military High Command in France.
Nearby Avenue Foch was particularly used to house the various sections of the Gestapo, the central body of methodical and particularly zealous repression across the entire territory. One private mansion accommodated personnel in charge of confiscations while another handled censorship in the press and publishing.
A little further along, a building bears a memorial plaque commemorating the terrible gang of "la Carlingue", an agency of the French Gestapo, which became infamous for its acts of torture, theft, and assassinations.
Further still, another building housed a particularly terrifying section of the Gestapo: numerous interrogations, acts of torture, and assassinations were committed there.
The tour will continue by featuring other buildings tied to the Occupation, notably the headquarters of the military police, and will end near the last bunker built outdoors and still visible in Paris.
Please note: The meeting point will be specified on the voucher after purchase.
