Paris is the capital of France. The city received an extensive reconstruction in the 1870s, and is well known for its beautiful architecture.
History[]
In 1891, Sherlock Holmes, Dr John Watson, and Madame Simza Heron traveled to Paris while investigating Professor Moriary and tracking Sim's brother, René.[1]
There, after meeting with René's contact, the anarchist Claude Ravache, they discovered a bombing plot. Holmes, Watson, and Sim raced to the Opéra Garnier, which they thought was the target; however, upon seeing Moriarty in the audience, they realised they were wrong. Holmes realised too late that the attack was to occur at a business conference at the nearby Hôtel du Triomphe attended by Alfred Meinhard, a weapons manufacturer. Despite the group's efforts, the bomb exploded just as they reached the hotel. However, the group now had a clue as to Moriarty's plans, and after trailing him to the Gare du Nord, they left Paris to follow him to Heilbronn.
