Overview
Le Marais isn't a neighbourhood you should simply walk through — you need to know where to look.
This experience combines several sides of Paris in one easy-going walking tour: medieval streets, magnificent private mansions, secret courtyards, Place des Vosges, Victor Hugo, the historic Jewish Quarter, local food traditions, fashion and LGBTQ+ heritage.
Rather than simply passing the neighbourhood's famous landmarks, your local guide helps reveal what is hiding behind ordinary doors, down small passages and beyond the shopfronts.
An included local tasting adds another dimension to the experience, while recommendations for cafés, restaurants, shopping and nightlife help you continue exploring after the tour.
It's historic Paris, Jewish Paris, fashionable Paris and delicious Paris — all within one fascinating neighbourhood.
