Full description
Explore Le Marais on a 2.5-hour semi-private guided walking tour with a professional English-speaking guide and no more than 12 guests. Discover Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church, Hôtel de Sully, Place des Vosges and the historic Jewish Quarter. This is an outdoor walking tour; museum and synagogue entry is not included.
Walk through the winding medieval streets of Le Marais with an expert guide and a semi-private group of no more than 12. The neighborhood escaped much of Haussmann’s nineteenth-century redesign, leaving a distinctive mix of old lanes, Renaissance mansions and lively contemporary streets. Your guide connects these layers of Parisian history as you explore the district on foot.
Admire the Baroque facade of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church, step into the garden of Hôtel de Sully and take in the arcades of Place des Vosges. Continue along Rue des Francs-Bourgeois and Rue des Rosiers as your guide explains the history and present-day life of the Jewish Quarter. The route also passes historic buildings such as Hôtel de Sens and the Carnavalet Museum exterior, before ending near Hôtel de Ville or Centre Pompidou. Stops and order may vary.
This 2.5-hour English-language walk runs rain or shine. Admission to museums and synagogue interiors, food and drinks, hotel transport and gratuities are not included.
