Paris Trip Overview
Using the film Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald, I have taken some of the locations and put together a unique cultural tour of Paris. We start out at 51 Rue de Montmorency, The owner of the Philosophers Stone and Alchemist, Nicholas Flamel’s house. Along the route we will instal a game for our young wizards and witches to see who can capture (with our cameras) the most Fantastic Beasts. These beasts are actually street art mosaics. The tour and game continues through the Marais past Hotel de ville and notre dame and then into the old Latin Quater.
Specifically, Nicholas Flamel’s actual house was built in 1407, No. 52 still stands today. The oldest stone house in Paris.
Who doesn’t like a good story about the mystical world of Alchemists? Certainly JK Rowling does, as did Victor Hugo, both of which make mention of the famous Alchemist. But who was he?? And did he crack the secret that so many alchemists have been searching for… the key to eternal life and wealth?
