During their first five months in Paris, Louis and Claudia are unaware that they have been watched by the local vampire coven Théâtre des Vampires, due to failing to announce their arrival, as is customary for traveling vampires. While cruising through a park, Louis is approached by their leader, Armand, who invites him to their performance. Louis and Claudia are then shown to the rest of the coven, including Santiago, whom Claudia admires, and a portrait of the coven's co-founder, Lestat de Lioncourt. Louis, anxious, tries to confirm Lestat's death with his solicitor, Roget, but fails. During a hunt with the coven, Armand admits that he can tell Louis is familiar with Lestat and advises him to be more discreet to avoid the coven's wrath. In the present, Daniel repeatedly interrupts and mocks Louis and Armand's narration. The couple fight back by digging into Daniel's past with his first wife, Alice, which triggers a flashback of Armand.
