CONTACT PARIS organises guided visits on request based on the novel « Le Parfum » by Patrick Süskind. Following in the footsteps of the main character, discover the places mentioned in the book, from the Les Halles district, birth place of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, to the former « rue des Marais », where Grenouille committed his first murder. With historic commentary, literary reflections, smells and anecdotes transport the visitor to the Paris of the 18th century and the kingdom of scents. For more information: info@contactparis.fr
