The darkest years of New France are just around the corner! How would you like to spend an hour and a half with the ghost of a famous criminal dating back to the time of New-France? Your ghostly host will lead you through Old Quebec. Let the lugubrious atmosphere that reigns inside the walls of the old city invade you once the sun is gone. The executioner Jean Rattier and his wife Marie Rivière summon you, but one question remains: Will you dare to try it?

Fun

It is more about the functioning of the court than about the criminals. I do not like your survey because I prefer yes or no questions.

A Spooky Good Time!

We had a wonderful time with Mari-Vivienne! Her character was the perfect mix of creepy and quirky and she kept us entertained and engaged the whole time. We saw a lot more of the old town than I expected and the tour was just the right length. Thanks for a spooky good time!

Entertaining tour with a lot of walking and stairs!

This tour was a nice way to see the city at night, and it provided fun, interactive stories about the history and crime in Old Quebec. There were a lot of stairs, and the tour was a lot of walking, so it was not the greatest option for anyone with mobility restrictions.
