Want to feel like a local? You have to go where they go. Welcome to Le Marais.
This stylish neighborhood is filled with trendy shops, medieval alleys, and unusual attractions many travelers miss. But it’s where Parisians come to play. You’ll understand why with this immersive walking tour of Le Marais. You might even feel a little Parisian yourself at the end.
Led by your local guide, you’ll explore the Marais’ rich history and modern appeal, from the old Jewish quarter to the vibrant LGBT community. See the Pompidou Center, the so-called “inside-out building” and visit the Place des Vosges where Victor Hugo once lived
Our tour ends at the Saint Paul metro station. Your guide can share tips on where to spend the rest of your afternoon if you want to stay longer. Once you’re here, it’s hard to say goodbye to Le Marais.

My mum and I went on this tour together and it’s an area of Paris we aren’t familiar with. Katie was our tour guide and she was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and friendly.
