- Le Marais - Start by understanding the historic importance of the Marais, which once laid beyond the center of Paris. Today, it is at the heart of the city. Discover the Church of Saint Paul and Saint Louis before walking through the courtyard of the majestic Hotel de Sully. Continue experiencing the royal history of the Marais by exploring the pristine Place des Vosges, a public square with unparalleled beauty in Paris. Afterwards, move forward in time to learn all about the bustling Jewish community that put the Marais on the map through the 18th and 19th centuries. Wander the bakeries and boutiques of the Pletzl before strolling the shop-laden rue des Francs Bourgeois. All the while you’ll discover mansion after mansion, former homes to the nobility that once called the Marais home. Some are now museums, like the highly worthwhile Musée Carnavalet. The tour may also introduce you to both the Hotel de Ville, or City Hall, and the Pompidou Center, both architectural masterpieces from very different periods.

Engaging and fun - We had a wonderful time with Francois and one more couple. Francois loves Paris and loves history. He is a very engaging. Story teller and gets as deep into history as the questions you ask. Time passed very fast and we needed 3 more hours in Marais to process and digest everything we learn. We also got many pointers for what to do next. Loved the tour!!! Thanks Francois!

The Marais is so rich in History - The Marais is my favorite district in Paris. The history of the area is fascinating. We enjoyed the shops and eateries in the neighborhood. We loved our guide, Tamari. She was so knowledgeable and told us so many fascinating stories. We felt as if we were good friends by the time the tour was over. I would definitely recommend this tour when in Paris.

Fabulous and Educational tour of the Marais - The tour with Hugo was excellent! We didn’t know much about the history of the Marais and Hugo provided sweeping, interesting, vast knowledge in an engaging and lighthearted way. We saw so much, learned so much, and even ended the day with a lunch recommendation!! Excellent!

Walking Into Insight and Inspiration - Francois, a true Parisian (he was born in Paris) customized our tour of the Marais to include less know fascinations as well as the sites for which the place is known. He brought deep knowledge, pride of place - and unbridled enthusiasm to us. The Marais is full of gems — historic and au courant - and having a guide like Francois gave it unexpected and valued dimensions. History of the Jewish quarter, lives of the nobility, the glories of Saint-Paul and tips about the best falafel. This was a walking tour that covered a lot of ground and gave us inspiration and insights.

Brilliant ‘Time travelling’ through the Marais with our guide - Insightful, knowledgeable and perfectly paced history tour with Hugo. He provided an amazingly concise and easy to follow history of the Marais within such a short time and had the breadth of history knowledge to respond to our interests. We’d not stayed in the Marais before and it was the perfect introduction to fully appreciate the extraordinary history of our surroundings.

Good but could be better - The tour was good but too many churches and not enough of the Jewish quarter and LGBT neighborhoods. That is more relevant for Le Marais.
