Offered in: English

Discover the food, fashion, hidden courtyards, Jewish heritage, historic churches, and everyday Parisian life of Le Marais on a guided walk through one of the city’s most layered neighbourhoods.

Experience Le Marais and learn how medieval streets, aristocratic residences, Jewish community history, local food traditions, and contemporary Parisian culture coexist within the same neighbourhood.

Starting beside the Centre Pompidou, follow your local guide through a sequence of visual landmarks: the National Archives and hôtels particuliers, Notre-Dame-des-Blancs-Manteaux, Jewish schools and memorial plaques, Rue des Rosiers, Musée Carnavalet, Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis, Hôtel de Sully, and Place des Vosges.

A 15-minute independent break on Rue des Rosiers gives you time to explore, take photographs, or buy a snack at your own expense. The walk then continues through the fashionable modern Marais before finishing beside the Louis XIII equestrian statue in the centre of Place des Vosges.
