“The journey to Paris with Laeti and Allison was an unforgettable adventure. Each day was like opening a treasure box that had been lovingly curated for us all. A perfect balance of mystery and scholarship, sprinkled with a bit of Laeti’s personal history of Paris, this trip helped me to see Tarot not as simply a tool for divination, but a way of reading the world in real time through studying its origins and tributaries.” —Marianne McCarthy
We are already planning another adventure to Paris in the fall of 2025. Join me next October on a tour through the shadows in the city of light, the "other Paris," as Lucy Sante might describe it. This tour will be lead by myself, a former Parisienne and my dear friend, cemetery expert Allison C. Meier.
Breaking away from the well-trodden tourist paths and postcard-perfect Parisian views, this five-day journey unveils the esoteric, extraordinary, and often hidden facets of the French capital. Discover places rarely seen, wander through private streets, explore a haunted manor in the heart of the red-light district, marvel at a psychedelic shrine of doppelgangers, and piece together the remnants of a discreetly magical city across time.
This trip is very intimate, only twelve spots are available. If you are interested in learning more, please RSVP. There’s limited single rooms and the hotel is fairly small so we can’t switch anything. Once all of the details are finalized, those who RSVP’d will be first in line to sign up.
Historical and Esoteric Tarots from the Museum of Playing Cards collection, special tour with curator Gwenael Beuchet.
Housing an extensive collection of antique and modern cards from across the globe, this little known institution explores the fascinating evolution of card games, tarot decks, and their cultural significance. Beuchet’s tour will focus on Tarot as a game and its pivotal role in the development of the French occult revival.
Visit of the Gustave Moreau House Museum
The house and studio of Gustave Moreau linger as a rare jewel in Paris, a space where the artist's singular vision is etched into every corner. This enchanted sanctuary hums with the poetry of curiosities—a cabinet of wonders brimming with artifacts both arcane and sublime. Ascending to the upper floors, one finds expansive studios bathed in a spectral light, where Salome sways in front of decapitated heads, sphinxes brood in their inscrutable majesty, and mythical beings emerge, shimmering, from the threshold of dream and reality. This house,a labyrinth of beauty and strangeness, inspired Joris-Karl Huysmans’ À Rebours, conjuring the decadent manor of Des Esseintes.
David Sphaeros Psychedelic Shrine.
Join us for a happy hour and special tour of David Sphaeros's lair, where the polymorphic artist and musician—founder of the noir psychedelia band Aqua Nebula Oscillator—has transformed his 17th-century cave atelier into a surrealist wunderkammer. Amid his life-size doppelgangers and gracefully bizarre creations, Sphaeros will regale us with stories as we enjoy drinks and explore his artistic sanctuary, a realm that blends dark mystique with the fantastical. Everyone in Paris knows about it, but very few have ever managed to get in. And yet, we will!
Visit of the Pere Lachaise Cemetery.
Located in Paris's 20th arrondissement, Père Lachaise Cemetery is the city's largest and most iconic cemetery. Established in 1804, it spans over 100 acres and is renowned for its serene, otherworldly ambiance, often serving as a backdrop for vampire films and nearly every 80s goth kid's photoshoot. Massive Cemetery nerds Allison and Laetitia will lead you to the final resting place of many notable figures, including Oscar Wilde and his now “kiss-proof” tomb, Marcel Proust, Alan Kardec, founder of Spiritism, famed fortune-teller Mademoiselle Lenormand and Fantasmagoria magic lanternist Roberston. Guests will be invited to wander on their own through its winding pathways to admire elaborate tombs, sculptures, mausoleums and meet the extraordinary fauna (cats, ravens and occasional foxes) for which the necropolis is a safe nest.
THE CATACOMBS OF PARIS.
Paris Catacombs is a vast underground ossuary that holds the remains of over six million people. Situated 20 meters below ground, this labyrinth of tunnels was created in the late 18th century to address overcrowding in Parisian cemeteries. Bones from various cemeteries were transferred and carefully arranged along the walls of the passageways, resulting in an eerie yet fascinating necropolis.
A Full Day at Les Puces de Saint Ouen, the legendary Paris Flea Market.
Sundays are for antiquing, and Paris is probably the most wonderful and last place where you can do so, find extraordinary things, and not necessarily break the bank. Join black-belt flea marketer Laetitia, who spent nearly all her Parisian years exploring the different marchés. She'll introduce you to the most intriguing peddlers and help you find your antique white whale.
Soiree at haunted Maison Frochot
Nicknamed the "most haunted house in Paris," this neo-Gothic townhouse has become shrouded in local legend and mystery, owing to an unresolved murder and a past filled with eerie occurrences within its walls. Nestled on a private street near Pigalle's red light district, Maison Frochot has changed ownership multiple times, partly because of its tales of ghosts and tragedies, and is now the private home of a medium who doubles as a piano virtuoso.
The Carnival Arts Museum:
We’ll take a whimsical dive through the festive spirit and showmanship of old-time fairs and cabarets. Le Musee des Arts Forains house a jaw-dropping collection of 19th Century and early 20th Century carnival rides and carousels, vintage games, and fairground artifacts. The immersive experience brings history to life with interactive exhibits, where guests can ride merry-go-rounds and explore lavishly decorated theatrical sets.

Reviews:
In a literal way Peculiar Paris was a gift to myself and it turned out to contain gifts of many varieties both material and spiritual. Laeti’s organization and generosity of spirit was a gift. Meeting her friends and visiting her special places felt like a gift. Experiencing so much visual astonishment led by the eyeball enchantress herself and developing natural friendships with fellow Peculiarites were gifts. There was no pressure to do anything we didn’t want to. It was an easygoing vibe yet we did so much. Allison deeply enriched the experience with her big beautiful history brain. I would go anywhere with those women at the helm.

Laetitia's trip through Paris was a cornucopia of delights! Highlights included the Carnival Arts museum with a dizzyingly wonderful ride on a bicycle-powered carousel, a curated tour of the Playing Card Museum, a soiree in a Haunted Mansion, a deep dive into the Catacombs, a wine and cheese gathering in a psychedelic art cave. . .Laetitia was a knowledgeable, gracious, and generous guide whose knowledge of Paris, art history, tarot, cemeteries enriched an amazing experience. If you are a grown up goth (or not!), this is the trip of a lifetime not to be missed.

Explore Paris with Laetitia Barbier? Yes, please!
This October, I had the incredible good fortune to join Laetitia Barbier and Allison C. Meier on a five-day journey into the 'other Paris.' This trip was unlike any other I've experienced, taking us deep into the esoteric and hidden gems of the city. Our group of 13 made the most of our time, exploring parts of Paris that simply are not available on average tours -- like David Spaeros's psychedelic shrine and a lively evening at Maison Frochot. Our day at the Paris flea market was a treasure hunt like no other, and staying in the 11th arrondissement allowed us to experience the authentic Parisian lifestyle. This trip was a perfect blend of history, mystery, and unique experiences, and although we were travelling as a group, everyone had freedom to do as much or as little as they wanted. I enthusiastically recommend this trip to anyone looking to see a different side of Paris! 11/10!!Renee
