Paris Le Marais Walking Tour - Small Group · English Guide

Walk through the Marais, Parisians' favorite district,
in a small group

Meet your guide in a pink vest near Saint-Paul metro station and begin the walking tour in English. Groups are usually around 12 people; when a group reaches the maximum of 20, a second guide joins so everyone can talk with a guide up close. Over about 1.5 hours you'll walk around the Marais and discover why Parisians love this neighborhood.

See Place des Vosges and aristocratic mansions

Pass through the lanes of Le Village Saint-Paul and see Marais landmarks such as Place des Vosges, Victor Hugo's House and Hôtel de Sully. Your guide shares stories of the mansions where nobles lived before the French Revolution, quiet gardens, old stone streets and the medieval atmosphere of the Marais.

Walk the Pletzl Jewish quarter and Rue des Rosiers

On Rue des Rosiers and in the Pletzl, learn about the long Jewish history, the Nazi persecution during World War II, and today's blend of Ashkenazi and Sephardic culture. You'll also hear how the Marais became the birthplace of LGBT culture in Paris in the early 1980s.

Glimpse Parisian daily life among galleries and shops

Stroll streets of trendy shops, art galleries, designer workshops and cafés, and watch how Parisians spend their time in the Marais. After passing Hôtel de Sens, the tour ends near the Hôtel de Ville.
