The City Of Lights’ Dark Side: Urban Legends, Murders And Strange Stories
<p>According to the legend, a barber and a baker worked next door to each other in Rue des Marmousets, in the <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/13th_arrondissement_of_Paris" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">13th district</a>. The barber would allegedly kidnap and butcher victims, mainly out-of-town students, passing them through a trap-door into the cellar of the baker’s shop. The baker would then use the human flesh to make meat pies, which became popular across Paris. The story is often compared to the fictional tale of Sweeney Todd in London. The legend of the Rue des Marmousets has been the subject of various retellings and has become a part of Parisian folklore.</p>
<p>This legend has been relayed by several historians, but there are no official documents relating to it. The only known account of monstrous acts in this street is found in a chronicle published in 1612 by a priest named Jacques du Breul. According to du Breul, these events took place around 1430.</p>
