Begin at the Hôtel de Ville, Paris's city hall, then pass the statue of Étienne Marcel and the 13 November 2015 memorial garden, honoring victims of the Paris attacks. Continue to Église Saint-Gervais, one of the city's oldest parish churches, before stopping at the Mémorial de la Shoah and its Wall of Names, honoring the 76,000 Jews deported from France. Wander through Village Saint-Paul's hidden courtyards, admire the baroque Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis Church, and pass the Hôtel de Sully to reach Place des Vosges, the oldest planned square in Paris, once home to Victor Hugo.
