Hello! My name is Leonardo and I am a certified tour guide based in Strasbourg.

I am passionate about sharing the hidden stories of my city, especially those related to the Second World War and mysterious, forgotten places.

In this unique 2-hour tour, I will guide you through a journey of secret tunnels, haunted legends, and real stories of survival and resistance.

Let me take you through some of the most fascinating and unusual spots in Strasbourg:

1. Former Synagogue Site (Place des Halles)
This was once the site of Strasbourg’s Grand Synagogue, destroyed by the Nazis in 1940. Today, only traces remain, but the memory of this sacred place is still very much alive.
2.  Synagogue de la paix (place de la République)
They say drowned soldiers still guard Pont Vauban on foggy nights.

3. Châteaux Rohan
They say Napoleon once wandered alone through the halls of Château des Rohan, long after midnight. Standing before a cracked mirror in the ballroom.
4. Parc de l’Orangerie
Not only home to a charming zoo and gardens, but also stories of underground tunnels, a vanished observation tower, and the ghostly white peacock said to appear at dusk.
5. Rue de la Nuée-Bleue
One of Strasbourg's oldest streets, said to be haunted by a woman who was buried alive during the plague.
6. Pont du Corbeau
Centuries ago, criminals were executed by drowning beneath Pont du Corbeau. One of them, a young soldier wrongly accused of treason.
7. Brasserie Au Brasseur
This charming historic brewery may have been a secret meeting point during the occupation. Some say resistance messages were hidden under beer barrels... 

Come join me and discover a side of Strasbourg most tourists never get to see.
8- 

• Barrage Vauban

 There is also a local legend about a wandering ghost here. People say that at night, near the Ponts Couverts and the Vauban Dam, you can sometimes see the shadow of a soldier from the past. According to the story, he drowned when the dam was used to flood the area. His spirit is said to still walk around the bridges, looking for his way back to the city. 

 9-
Place du Marché Gayet

This square was created in 1769 by François-Marie de Gayot. Its ground is covered with small stones from the Rhine River, giving it a unique and historic look. 

During the Second World War, the houses around the square were used by Nazi soldiers as a place to rest when Strasbourg was occupied. Today, instead of soldiers, the square is filled with cafés, students, and visitors enjoying the peaceful atmosphere 

This is not just a walk — it’s a journey through shadows, secrets, and survival.

I will be waiting for you in front of the entrance of Maison Kammerzell, right next to the cathedral, wearing a red outfit and glasses 

⚠️ Please note: This tour includes an optional additional cost of 5€ -12 euros for a drink at Brasserie Au Brasseur and Castel (not mandatory)
