Overview

Join a local for a walk in one of the oldest and most surprising parts of Paris.

Starting at l'Hotel de Ville, follow at your own pace through some of the Marais’ most prestigious landmarks. You will learn why the famous Knight Templars played an important part in Paris' history, walk alongside 17th-century mansions, and hear about the tragic stories of the famous residents of this area. And as a walk in Paris would not be complete without patisseries, you will find recommended delicious treats along the way.

This tour is family-friendly. It has historical commentaries for adults and older children, food suggestions early in the walk and parks/playgrounds should you need to stop along the way.

The tour is ready whenever you are. It plays audio automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone’s GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app for Android and iOS which also works offline.

A bientôt in the Marais!
